Question

The price of a washing machine inclusive of sales tax is ₹ 13,530. If the sales tax is 10%, find its basic price.

Answer 1

Given,
The price of washing machine including sales tax = RS. 13,530.
Sales Tax added = 10%

To find,
The basic price of the washing machine

Solution,
Let the basic price be x
Then,
x+(10x/100)= RS. 13,530
110x/100 = RS. 13,530
11x/10 = RS. 13,530
x = (13530*10)/11
x= 1,35,300/11
x= RS. 12,300
So, the basic price of washing machine is RS. 12,300

Answer 2

Answer:

let m.p = x

tax = 10 % of x = 10 x / 100

s.p = m.p + tax

= x + 10x / 100 = 3530

= 11x / 10 = 13530

= x = 13530 × 10 / 11

= 12300
