Question

Amitabh purchase a basketball for rupees 896 including sales
tax is of 12% than the selling price of the basketball is​ , plz help me

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the Selling Price (S.P) = x

Hence, the tax = 12 % of x = (12/100)  * x

Given that;

Amitabh purchased the basket ball for Rs 896/-

which is equal to S.P + 12% of S.P

=> x + (12/100) * x = 896

(Taking LCM 100 and multiplying 100 on both sides)

(100 * x) + (12 * x) = 896 * 100

112x = 89600

x = 89600/112

x = 800

So, the S.P of the basket ball = Rs 800/-
