1. If Ahmed purchases a Watch for Rs 600 and pays 15% sales tax, the total amount
spent on purchase is?
A. Rs. 660 B. Rs. 670
C. Rs. 680 D. Rs. 690

Cost price of watch is= Rs. 600
Sales tax = 15%
So, sales tax amount = 600 × 15/100 = Rs. 90
So, the total amount spent on purchase of watch = Cost price of watch + Sales tax amount
= 600 + 90
= Rs. 690

4. A patient requires a 30% decrease in the dosage of the medication her current dosage
is 340 mg. what will his dosage be after the decrease?
A) 70 B) 238
C) 270 D) 340
Current Dose = 340 mg
Decrease Dose = 30%
30% of 340 is= Total Dose × Decrease %
= 340×30%

Total Dosage after Decrease = 340-102
= 238mg
5. 12 is what percent of 36?

C. 3000 D. 3100
Percentage of invalid votes = 20%
Percentage of valid votes = 100% - 20%
= 80%
Total Votes = 7500
Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500
80
= 7500 × 100
= 6000
Valid votes polled by other candidate = (100% - 55%) of 6000
