Question

Neal buys a board game. He pays for the board game and pays 1.54 in sales tax. The sales tax rate is 5.5%. What is the original price of the board game, before tax?

Answer 1

Answer:

let the price of board game be ₹ x

therefore sales tax =5.5% of ₹x

i.e 1.54= 5.5/ 100 × x

therefore x= 1.54×100/ 5.5

=154/5.5

=28

Therefore the cost or board game is ₹ 28

Answer 2

The original price of board game is Rs.28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Sales tax rate = 5.5%

Amount pays in sales tax = Rs. 1.54

Let the original price of board game be 'x'.

According to question, we get that

$\dfrac{5.5}{100}x=1.54\\\\0.055x=1.54\\\\x=\dfrac{1.54}{0.055}\\\\x=28$

Hence, the original price of board game is Rs.28.
