Answer 2

let the original price of bottle be ' x '

Find the tax :
------------------

tax charged = 6% of original price

= 6 % of x = ₹ 0.06x

price of bottle including tax = ₹ 318

Find the original price:
------------------------------

according to the given statement :

original price + tax = ₹ 318

x + 0.06x = 318

1.06x = 318 => 106x ÷ 100 = 318

106x = 31800=> x = 31800 ÷ 106

x = ₹300

therefore, original price of the bottle of shampoo was ₹300.

Answer: original price = ₹300
