Question

If the sales tax on a purchase worth Rs. $$60$$ is Rs. $$4.20$$. What will be the sales tax on the purchase worth Rs. $$150$$?

Answer 1

Given, sales tax on a purchase worth Rs. $$60=$$ Rs. $$4.20$$

then, sales tax on purchase worth Rs. $$1=$$ Rs. $$\dfrac{4.20}{60}$$

$$\therefore$$ sales tax on the purchase worth Rs. $$150=$$ Rs. $$\dfrac{4.20}{60}\times 150=$$ Rs $$10.50$$

Hence, the sales tax on the purchase worth Rs. $$150$$ will be Rs. $$10.50$$
