Answer:

The reduction on the price of TV is Rs. 104 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

  • Cost of TV including sales tax = Rs. 1404.
  • Sales tax is 8%.
  • Reduction in price = sales tax.

To find :

  • Reduction in price.

Solution :

  • Let, the original price of TV without sales tax is Rs. x .
  • Since, sales tax is 8% and is added to original price.
  • Cost of TV including sales tax = Original price + 8% of sales tax on original price.

1404 = x +  \frac{8}{100} x \\  1404 = x +  \frac{2}{25} x \\ 1404 =  \frac{27}{25} x \\  x =  \frac{25 \times 1404}{27}  \\ x = 52 \times 25 \\ x = 1300

  • Original price of TV is Rs. 1300.
  • Sales tax on TV is (1404 - 1300) = Rs. 104.
  • Since, the reduction on TV is equal to sales tax.
  • Hence, Reduction on TV price is Rs. 104 .
