Jeans marked Rs 1,450 get a 10 per cent discount, then 5 per cent sales tax. What is finally paid?

1. Discount = (10/100) x 1450 = Rs 145, so the sale price is Rs 1,305. 2. Sales tax is charged on the selling price, not the marked price. 3. Tax = (5/100) x 1305 = Rs 65.25. 4. Amount paid = 1305 + 65.25 = Rs 1,370.25. 5. Netting the two rates into a single 5 per cent discount gives Rs 1,377.50, which is wrong. _Source: NCERT Class 8 Maths Ch7 'Comparing Quantities', Example 3 and Example 4 combined_
