Answer 2

Answer:

List price of the tv is Rs 5150 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the list price of tv is x .

As given

Rachna paid rs 5665 for a colour tv.

If the sales tax us charged at the rate of 10% .

10% is written in the decimal form .

$= \frac{10}{100}$

= 0.10

Sales price = 0.10 × List price

                  = 0.10 × x

                  = 0.10x

Rachana paid  for a color tv = List price + Sales price

5665  = x + 0.10x

5665 = 1.10x

$x = \frac{5665}{1.10}$

x= 5150

Therefore the list price is Rs 5150.
