Three individuals contributed Tk. 8000.00 each toward the purchase of a computer. If they bought the computer on sale for Tk. 19,500.00 plus 10 percent sales tax, how much money should be refunded to each individual? Correct Answer Tk. 850
Total contribution = 3 x 8000 = 24000 TK Cost of computer = 19500 + 10% of 19500 = 19500 + 1950 = 21450 TK. Excess contribution = 24000 - 21450 = 2550 TK. Refund to each = 2550/3 = 850 TK.
