please mark me brainly

Answer 2

Answer:

(i) Let the cost price of the Dealer A be x

Now, Cost of cooler for Dealer A inclusive of sales tax = Rs. 8100

Sales tax = 8%

⇒ x + 8% of x = 8100

⇒ x + 0.08·x = 8100

⇒ 1.08x = 8100

⇒ x = 7500

Hence, Cost price of the cooler for Dealer A = Rs. 7500

(ii) Amount paid by customer = 8500 + 8% of 8500

                                                = Rs. 9780

Tax received by government = 8% of 9780 + 600 + 8% of 8500

                                                 = Rs. 2062.40

(iii) Amount paid by customer for the cooler = Rs. 9780
