Answer 1

Hello,
a product bought by Jyotsana for Rs 5400 including 8% salex taxi.
Let the price of the product before salex tax be Rs. x.
So
$x+x\times \frac{8}{100}=5400$;
$x+ \frac{x\times 8}{100}=5400$;
${108x}{100}=5400$;
(salex tax include in selling price)
$x= \frac{5400\times100}{108} = \frac{540000}{108} =5000$

Hence, the prince of the product befor sales tax is 5000.

bye :-)
