Question

PLzzz answer me

Answer 1

100 + 5 = 105%

105% = Rs 945

1% = 945 ÷ 105 = Rs 9

100% = 9 x 100 = Rs 900

Answer: The original price is Rs 900

Answer 2

Method - 1:

Given Price of the toy = 945.

Given Sales tax rate = 5%.

Price % of the toy = 105%.

By the unitary method,

105% = 945

1% = 945/105 = 9

100% = 900.

Therefore, the original price of the toy = 900.

Method : 2

Let the original price of toy = x.

= > x + 5% of x = 945

= > x + 5x/100 = 945

= > 105x/100 = 945

= > 105x = 945 * 100

= > 105x = 94500

= > x = 94500/105

= > x = 900.

Therefore, the original price of toy = 900.

Hope it helps!
