Question

Dinesh bought a t shirt to rs 464,which included a discount of 15% on the marked price and a sales tax of 10% on the reduced price .find the marked price of the article.

Answer 1

First, multiply use the formula x=price∗(1−y/100),x=price∗(1−y/100),where x is the total and y is the fraction.

In your problem, the price is 464, y is 15, and x is the unknown. Plug in what you do know.

x=464∗(1−15/100)x=464∗(1−15/100)

This simplifies to:

x=394.4x=394.4

Now, we have to multiply it by the 20% sales tax. We use the same formula as above, but with a slight twist.

x=price∗(1+y/100)x=price∗(1+y/100)

We know that the price is 394.4 and y is 20. Plug those in.

x=394.4∗(1+20/100)x=394.4∗(1+20/100)

Now, that simplifies to:

x=473.28x=473.28

Hope that helped!

Answer 2

Hlw mate!!


Solution: Let marked price be Rs. x, Discount = 15%, Rate of Sales Tax = 10%. 

Discount on Rs. x = 15% of x = (15/100) x = 15x/100.

Price after discount = x – 15x/100 = 85x/100.

Sales Tax = 10% of 85x/100 = (10/100)(85x/100) = 85x/1000.

Price including sales tax = 85x/100 + 85x/1000 = 935x/1000.

As per question, 935x/1000 = Rs. 374

Or,    

x = Rs. 374(1000/935) = Rs. 400.

Hence,  marked price = Rs. 400. [Ans.]
