Question

A bicycle is available for Rs 1,664 including sales tax. If the list price of the bicycle is Rs 1,600, find :

(1) the rate of sales tax.

(2) the price, a customer will pay for the bicycle if the sales tax is increased by 6%.

Sum

Solution

Price of bicycle inclusive of sales tax = Rs. 1,664

List price of bicycle = Rs. 1,600

(1)`∴ "Rate of sales tax" = "sales tax"/"list price" xx 100% = 64/1600 xx 100% = 4%`

(2) New rate of sales tax =(4+6)% = 10%

New total price = Rs. 1,600+ 10% of Rs. 1,600

`= "Rs." 1600 + 10/100 xx 1600`

= Rs. 1600 + Rs. 160

= Rs. 1760
