A person paid a bill of Rs.25 that included 30 paise as sales tax at the rate of 6% on taxable items. What was the cost of the tax free items?
Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25
Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax
= Total tax = 30 Paise
Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = = Rs.$$\frac{30}{100}$$
let the cost of the tax free items = x
given tax rate = 6%
(25−$$\frac{30}{100}$$−x)$$\frac{60}{100}$$=$$\frac{30}{100}$$
=6(25−0.3−x)=30
=(25−0.3−x)=5
x=25−0.3−5=19.7
