A shopkeeper charges Rs 1242 for a fan which includes an 8% tax on it . Find the selling price without of the fan .​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the selling price of fan be x

Given,

x+8%x=1242

x+(8/100)x=1242

(100x+8x)/100=1242

x=(1242×100)/108

x=1150rs is the cost price without tax

Tax=1242-1150=92rs
