$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Solution below.$
====================================

$<u>Your Question -</u>$

If the sales tax on a purchase worth Rs. 140 is Rs. 11.20, what will be the sales tax on a purchase worth Rs. 550?

$<u>Solution -</u>$

Cost price (C.P.) = Rs. 140

Sales tax = Rs. 11.20


So, tax percent

= tax applied/C.P. × 100
= 11.20/140 × 100
= 1120/140
= 8%


Now,

C.P. = 550

Tax % = 8 %

So, tax to be applied
= 8% of 550
= 8/100 × 550
= 0.08 × 550
= 44 Rs.
