Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.6764.70

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling Price = Rs.5750

Tax = 15%

Let the price of cooler before tax be x.

=> (100-15)% of x = 5750

=> 85% of x = 5750

=> 85/100 x = 5750

=> x = Rs.6764.70

Answer 2

ANSWER

the answer is 5000

step by step explanation

15% sale tax means that if the prize without tax is rupees 100 then price with tax is rupees 115.

now, if the price with taxes is rupees 115 then the actual price is rupees 100.

hence when the price with tax is rupees 5750 then actual price is

= 100 ÷ 115 X 5750

= 5000 rs. / ans.
