$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Solution below.$
====================================

• Selling price (S.P.) = Rs. 1134

• Discount % (d %) = 10%

• Sales tax charged (S.T.) = 5%

• Marked Price (M.P.) = ?


First, we find the price of frock without discount.

Let the M.P. be "x".


Then, we know that,

S.P. = M.P. - d% of M.P.

=> 1134 = x - (10% of x)

=> 1134 = x - (10/100 × x)

=> 1134 = x - (10 × x/100)

=> 1134 = x - (10x/100)

=> 1134 = x - 10x/100

=> 1134 = (100x - 10x)/100

=> 1134 = 90x/100

=> 1134 × 100/90 = x

=> 113400/90 = x

=> 1260 = x

Hence, the M.P. of the frock including the sales tax is 1260 Rs.

But, that is not the marked Price, that includes the sales tax also, so we take it as S.P. for next part.


• Now, we deduct the Sales tax.


S.P. = M.P. + tax%

=> 1260 = x + 5% of x

=> 1260 = x + 5/100 × x

=> 1260 = x + 5x/100

=> 1260 = (100x + 5x)/100

=> 1260 = 105x/100

=> 1260 × 100/105 = x

=> 126000/105 = x

=> 1200 = x

=> x = 1200
