Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.65   Given that out of this Rs.65, 30 Paise is given as tax   =&gt; Total tax incurred = 30 Paise = Rs.30/100   Let the cost of the tax free items = x   Given that tax rate = 6%   ∴ (65−30/100−x)6/100 = 30/100   ⇒ 6(65 −0.3 −x) = 30   ⇒ (65 − 0.3 − x) = 5   ⇒ x = 65 − 0.3 − 5 = 59.7   59.7)
