Answer:

Reduction of the price of the watch is Rs 1291.68 .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

Veena bought a watch costing Rs. 1404 including sales tax at 8%.

She asked the shopkeeper to reduce the price of the watch so that she can save the amount equal to the tax.

8% is written in the decimal form .

$= \frac{8}{100}$

= 0.08

Sale tax = 0.08 × Cost price of the watch

             = 0.08 × 1404

             = Rs 112.32

Reduction of the price of the watch = Original price of watch - Sales tax

                                                           = $ 1404 - $112.32

                                                           = $ 1291.68

Therefore the reduction of the price of the watch is Rs 1291.68 .
