Correct answer: B
Answer: Rs 6876.10
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the rebate. 6% of 6650 = 0.06 × 6650 = 399.
Step 2: Find the price after rebate. 6650 − 399 = 6251.
Step 3: Compute sales tax on the discounted price. 10% of 6251 = 0.10 × 6251 = 625.10.
Step 4: Total expenditure = discounted price + sales tax = 6251 + 625.10 = 6876.10.
Therefore, the total amount paid is Rs 6876.10.
