Question

the price of a washing machine including 8% tax is rupees 17280 if the tax is increased to 12% how much more will the customer pay for it

Answer 1

Answer:

rs 640

Step-by-step explanation:

price of washing machine with 8% tax = 17280

let the price without tax be x

$x + (x \times \frac{8}{100} ) = 17280 \\ x + \frac{8x}{100} = 17280 \\ 100x + 8x = 17280 \times 100 \\ 108x = 17280 \times 100 \\ x = \frac{17280 \times 100}{108} \\ x = 160 \times 100 = 16000$

price of washing machine without tax = 16000

price with 12% tax

$= 16000 + (16000 \times \frac{12}{100} ) \\ = 16000 + (160 \times 12) \\ = 16000 + 1920 \\ = 17920$

difference to be paid

17920 - 17280 = 640

Rs. 640 to be paid more

hope you get your answer
