Answer 1

Here,

We need to find the marked price of A and B.

Now,

Let us assume that the marked price of A = x.

The marked price of B = y.

Given that the marked price of A and B = 6000

x + y = 6000 -------- (1)

Given that the sales tax on article A is 8% = 8x/100  ------ (2)

Given that the sales tax on Article B is 10% = 10y/100 ------- (3)

Given that the total sales tax collected is 552.

8x/100 + 10y/100 = 552

8x + 10y = 55200   ----------- (4)


On solving (1) * 8 & (2), we get

8x + 10y = 55200

8x + 8y =  48000

--------------------------

        2y = 7200

          y = 3600.


Substitute y = 3600 in (1), we get

x + y = 6000

x + 3600 = 6000

x = 6000 - 3600

x = 2400.



Therefore,

The marked price of Article A = 2400

The marked price of Article B = 3600.


Hope this helps!
