Rahul went to a shop and bought things worth Rs. 25, out of which 48 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 from the following answers:
A) 19	B) 19.7	C) 19.9	D) 16.7	E) 22.8
Total cost of the items he purchased = Rs.25   Given that out of this Rs.25, 48 Paise is given as tax   =&gt; Total tax incurred = 48 Paise = Rs.48/100   Let the cost of the tax free items = x   Given that tax rate = 6%   ∴ (25−30/100−x)6/100 = 48/100   ⇒ 6(25 −0.3 −x) = 48   ⇒ (25 − 0.3 − x) = 8   ⇒ x = 25 − 0.3 − 8 = 16.7   16.7)
