Question

Neha bought a dress for Rs. 5000 , which includes a sales tax of 12.36 % .Find the amount of sales tax and the actual price of the dress before the tax was added​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sales tax = Rs.  618.00

Actual price of dress = Rs. 4382.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of sales tax = 12.36% of tax inclusive cost

                                 = (12.36÷100)×Rs. 5000

                                 =0.1236×Rs. 5000

                                 =Rs. 618.00

Actual price = total price - sales tax

                     = Rs. 5000 - Rs. 618

                     = Rs. 4382.00

Answer 2

Answer:

Sales tax = 705.6  

The Actual price of dress = 5705.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Qn:Neha bought a dress for Rs. 5000 , which includes a sales tax of 12.36 % .Find the amount of sales tax and the actual price of the dress before the tax was added​?

What should we find in the above question is amount of sales tax and actual price

As we know that, List Price = Selling Price( $\frac{100}{100-discount percentage}$)

Here,The provided informations are:

Selling Price or Marked Price = 5000

Sales tax= 12.36%

Now going onto the question List Price =

Actual Price =Selling Price( $\frac{100}{100-discount percentage}$ )

                     =5000( $\frac{100}{100-12.36}$ )

                     =5000( $\frac{100}{87.64}$)

                     (I have done it not by estimating the answer by estimating                                          

                     the answer you might get as 5700)

                     =5000(1.14 (approx. 1.141031492469192) )

                     =5000 *1.141031492469192= 5,705.157462345961

we could estimate 5,705.157462345961 as 5705.6

Therefore,Actual price=5705.6

                 Sale price=705.6

By doing in the estimation way you will get Actual price as 5700 and Sale price as 700.
