Ramees purchases goods valued at Rs. 6650 with a 6% rebate, then pays a 10% sales tax on the discounted amount. Find his total payment.
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: A. Rs. 6876.10
Explanation
Applying a six percent rebate to the base price of sixty six fifty reduces the cost. Calculating ten percent sales tax on this discounted price adds the mandatory government tax amount. Summing the discounted price and the sales tax results in a total payment of sixty eight seventy six ten. Commercial transactions frequently apply sequential percentage discounts followed by percentage tax additions. Rebates reduce the taxable value of goods before final checkout calculations are performed. Sales tax is computed as a percentage applied directly to the final discounted retail price.
Retail receipt calculations incorporate promotional discounts and local sales taxes to determine final totals. E-commerce platforms automate sequential price adjustments including coupon rebates and value added taxes. Consumer budgeting requires accounting for post discount tax additions when purchasing retail merchandise. Option B overestimates the final total by miscalculating the sales tax proportion on the rebate. Option C represents an incorrect intermediate value that fails to include the required sales tax. Option D rounds off the exact currency figure incorrectly compared to the precise cent calculation.
