Question

Suneeta paid rs 7770 for a machine including 5%tax. Find the price before tax.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Price before tax = ₹7400

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost including tax= ₹7770

Let the price before tax = x

tax = 5% of x

Cost including tax = Price before tax + Tax

7770 = x + (5x/100)

7770 = (100x+5x)/ 100

7770 = (100x+5x)/ 100

7770 × 100 = 105x

777000/105 = x

₹7400 = x

since x = Price before tax; therefore The price before tax = ₹7400
