Question

9. When the sales tax on an item is increased
by 5%, the price of packing the item
becomes *5600. What was the original
price of the packing of that item?​

Answer 1

Answer:

==========================================

The Original price is ₹5333.33 .

==========================================

Step-by-step explanation:

==========================================

let the total cost of the item be x

therefore, according to question

price after sales tax = x + 5% of x

= x + 5 / 100*x

= x + x / 20

= 21 x / 20

5600 = 21x / 20

5600 × 20 = 21 x

5600 × 20 / 21 = x

5333.33 = x
