Daniel went to a shop and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 60 Paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Choose the correct choice:
A) A)14.4
B) B)20
C) C)21.3
D) D)21.5
E) E)22
Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25   Given that out of this Rs.25, 30 Paise is given as tax   =&gt; Total tax incurred = 60 Paise = Rs.60/100   Let the cost of the tax free items = x   Given that tax rate = 6%   ∴ (25−60/100−x)6/100 = 60/100   ⇒ 6(25 −0.6 −x) = 60   ⇒ (25 − 0.6 − x) = 10   ⇒ x = 25 − 0.6 − 10 = 14.4   14.4
