Question:
The list price of a refrigerator is Rs 14650. If 6% is charged as sales tax, find the cost of the refrigerator.
Solution:
List price of the refrigerator = Rs 14650
Sales tax = 6% of Rs 14650
$=\operatorname{Rs}\left(14650 \times \frac{6}{100}\right)$
$=\operatorname{Rs} 879$
Bill amount $=$ Rs $(14650+879)$
$=\operatorname{Rs} 15529$
Hence, the cost of the refrigerator is Rs 15,529.
