Question

Answer 1

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

SOLUTION

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

Price of jeans = Rs 800

Tax paid = Rs 40

Let the rate of tax be x

=> x % of 800 = 40

=> x/100 × 800 = 40

=> x = 40 × 100 /800

=> x = 40/8

=> x = 5

Hence, the rate of tax is 5%

Answer 2

Solution:

List price is 800

Tax is 40

Tax % = 40×100/800

= 5 %
