Rajeev buys good worth Rs. 6650. He gets a rebate of 6% on it. After getting the rebate, he pays sales tax @ 10%. Find the amount he will have to pay for the goods.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Rs. 6876.10

Explanation:

Given

  • Marked value of goods = Rs. 6650
  • Rebate (discount) = 6%
  • After rebate, sales tax = 10% on the discounted amount

Step 1: Apply rebate
Discounted price = 6650 × (1 − 0.06) = 6650 × 0.94 = Rs. 6251.00


Step 2: Add sales tax on discounted price
Tax = 10% of 6251.00 = 0.10 × 6251.00 = Rs. 625.10Final payable = 6251.00 + 625.10 = Rs. 6876.10


Notes

  • Tax is computed after rebate (on the reduced base).
  • Order matters: apply discount first, then tax.

Final Answer
Amount to be paid = Rs. 6876.10.
