Question
Kritika ordered one pizza and one garlic bread from a pizza store and paid Rs 387 inclusive of taxes of Rs 43. Find the tax%.
Solution
Given that, cost of one pizza and one garlic bread including Rs. 43 tax = Rs. 387.
⇒ Cost of one pizza and one garlic bread without tax = Rs. (387 – 43) = Rs. 344
Now, Tax % = `"Tax"/"Cost without tax" xx 100`
= `43/344 xx 100`
= 12.5%
