Question

The sales tax on a new car is proportional to the price of the car. Jeevan bought a new car for rs 9,00,000 and paid rs 1,08,000. Seema bought a new car and paid a sales tax of rs 1,32,000. What is the price of the new car of Seema?

Answer 1

seema has to pay 10,32,000
9,00,000+1,32,000=10,32,000

Answer 2

The price of the Seema's car is ₹1100000

Given data :

Jeevan's car price = ₹900000

Tax = ₹108000

Seema's tax = ₹132000

So,the tax percentage

= (100×108000/900000)

=12%

Let,the price of Seema's car = ₹ x

So,

x × 12/100 = 132000

x × 6/50 = 132000

x × 3/25 = 132000

3x = 132000 × 25

x = 1100000 (answer)
