Answer 1

Answer:

i) 495 ii)1100

Step-by-step explanation:

i). 10%of 550=55=tax

so 550-55=495

original cost of pair of shoes before adding tax is RS.495

ii) let the original price be 'x'

given that discount is 35%

so, x-(35/100)x=715

x-(7/20)x=715

20x-7x=715×20

13x=14300

x=1100

original cost of book is RS.1100
