Helen went to the stationers and bought things worth Euro 25, out of which 30 paise went on sales tax on taxable purchases. If the tax rate was 6%, then what was the cost of the tax free items?
Euro 15
Euro 15.7
Euro 19.7
Euro 20

• The answer would be Euro 19.7 ....
  
  Let X be the taxable items, then 6 % of X=30/100.
  6 % of X =.3
  6X/100=.3
  Therefore, X=5.
  Hence tax free item is (25-5-.3)=19.7 ....
