Answer 2

7128.20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The sale price of chairs is Rs. 8340 including sales tax @ 17 %.

To find:

The original price of a chair

Solution:

The sale price (including tax) of the chair = Rs. 8340

The rate of sales tax = 17%

Let's assume "x" represents the original cost price of the chair

∴ The amount of sales tax = 17% of the original cost = \frac{17}{100}x = Rs.\: 0.17x

100

17

x=Rs.0.17x

We know,

\boxed{\bold{Sales \:price = Original \:price + Tax\:amount}}

Salesprice=Originalprice+Taxamount

..... (i)

Therefore, on substituting the values in (i), we get

8340 = x + 0.17x8340=x+0.17x

\implies 8340 = 1.17x⟹8340=1.17x

\implies x = \frac{8340}{1.17}⟹x=

1.17

8340

\implies \bold{x = 7128.20}⟹x=7128.20

Thus, the original price of the chair is → Rs. 7128.20.
