During a summer sale, additional tax at the rate of \(5\%\) of the discounted price is levied on discounted items. If the marked price of a shirt is 2,500, and a discount of \(30\%\) is offered on the shirt during the summer sale, then what would be the final selling price of the shirt after the extra tax?
- ₹ 1,750
- ₹ 1,822.50
- ₹ 1,837.50
- ₹ 1,875
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Calculate the discounted price.
Discounted Price:
\[ 2500 - \frac{30}{100} \times 2500 = 2500 - 750 = 1750 \]
Step 2: Apply the tax of 5% on the discounted price.
Tax:
\[ \frac{5}{100} \times 1750 = 87.5 \]
Step 3: Add the tax to the discounted price.
Final Price:
\[ 1750 + 87.5 = 1837.5 \]
Conclusion: The final price of the shirt after tax is ₹1,837.50.
