Question

The price of a car including 6 percent sales
tax is Rs. 154431.40. What is the market price
of the car without tax?​

Answer 1

Let the market price of the car be Rupees x

Tax = 6 %

So, amount of tax = X × 6/100 = 0.06x

Price of car including tax = x +0.06x

According to the question

$x + 0.06x = 154431.40 \\ 1.06x = 154431.40 \\ x = \frac{154431.40}{1.06} \\ x = \: 145690$

The market price of the car = Rs. 145690
