Answer 1

Answer:

8200rs

Step-by-step explanation:

9600×5/100 =rs480 is the tax

he paid 9600-480=8200

Answer 2

Let the actual price or list price of music system = Rs x Rate of sales tax = 8%

sales tax = 8% of Rs x = Rs (8x/100)

= Rs (2x/25)

Now, money paid by Arjun = Rs 9600

⇒x + 2x/25 = 9600

⇒27x/25 = 9600

⇒x = 9600 × 25/27 = 8888.89

Now, actual cost price = Rs 8888.89sales tax = Rs 2x/25

= Rs 2/25× 8888.89 = Rs 711.11
