Question

I purchased a pair of shoes for ₹1944 inclusive of 8% tax. Find the marked price of the shoes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹1788.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of shoes when tax included = ₹1944

Tax = 8%

Marked price = 1944*8/100

= 155.52

= 1944 - 155.52

= ₹1788.48

Answer 2

Given :

• Selling price = ₹ 1944
• Tax = 8 %

$\\ \rule{200pt}{3pt}$

To Find :

• Marked price = ?

$\\ \rule{200pt}{3pt}$

Solution :

~ Formula Used :

• Tax

$\large{\pink{\dashrightarrow \: \: {\underbrace{\underline{\purple{\sf{ Tax = \dfrac{S.P \times Tax \: \% }{100} }}}}}}}$

• Marked Price :

$\large{\pink{\dashrightarrow \: \: {\underbrace{\underline{\purple{\sf{ Marked \: Price = Selling \: Price - Tax }}}}}}}$

$\\ \qquad{\rule{150pt}{1pt}}$

~ Calculating the Tax on the Shoes :

${\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Tax = \dfrac{S.P \times Tax \: \% }{100} }}}} \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Tax = \dfrac{1944 \times 8}{100} }}}} \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Tax = \cancel\dfrac{15552}{100} }}}} \\ \\ \ {\qquad{\textsf{ Tax on the Shoes = {\green{\sf{ ₹ \: 155.52 }}}}}}$

$\\ \qquad{\rule{150pt}{1pt}}$

~ Calculating the Marked Price :

${\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Marked \: Price = Selling \: Price - Tax }}}} \\ \\ \ {\longmapsto{\qquad{\sf{ Marked \: Price = 1944 - 155.52 }}}} \\ \\ \ {\qquad{\textsf{ Marked price of the Shoes = {\pink{\sf{ ₹ \: 1788.48 }}}}}}$

$\\ \qquad{\rule{150pt}{1pt}}$

Therefore :

❝ Marked price of the shoes is ₹ 1788.48 .❞
