Answer 1

$\green{\large\underline{\sf{Given- }}}$

Kanta purchased a refrigerator for ₹8208 including sales tax . The list price of the refrigerator is ₹7600.

$\blue{\large\underline{\sf{To\:Find - }}}$

Rate of sale tax.

$\red{\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}}$

Given that,

• Kanta purchased a refrigerator for ₹8208 including sales tax .

• The list price of the refrigerator is ₹7600

Let assume that

• Rate of sale tax is x %.

Now,

List price of refrigerator = ₹ 7600

Selling price of refrigerator including tax = ₹ 8208

So,

Amount of Sale Tax paid = Selling Price - List Price

Amount of Sale Tax paid = 8208 - 7600 = ₹ 608

Now,

$\rm :\longmapsto\:x\% \: of \: 7600 = 608$

$\rm :\longmapsto\:\dfrac{x}{100} \times 7600 = 608$

$\rm :\longmapsto\:76x = 608$

$\rm :\longmapsto\:x = \dfrac{608}{76}$

$\bf\implies \:x \: = \: 8 \: \%$

Hence, Rate of Sale Tax = 8 %
