Q. The minimum charge of telephone call upto 175 calls is Rs 200 and for each additional call is Re. 1. If a man paid Rs. 328.90 with 10% VAT of his one month telephone bill, find how many extra calls of that month were made?


Soln:
Here, the minimum charge of 175 calls = Rs 200
Let, the charge of telephone calls without 10%VAT = Rs x.
x + 10% of x = Rs 328.90
(11/10)*x = Rs 328.90
x = Rs299
Now, the charge for extra calls = Rs 299 - Rs 200 = Rs 99
The rate of cost of each extra call = Re 1
Therefore, the number of extra calls = 99/1 = 99
So, the required number of extra calls is 99.
