Question
Jyotsana bought a product for Rs 3,155 including 4.5% sales tax. Find the price before tax was added.
Solution
A product bought by Jyotsana for Rs. 3155 including 4.5% sales tax.
Let the price of the product before sales tax be Rs. x.
So, `x + x xx 4.5/100 = 3155`
⇒ `x + (x xx 45)/1000 = 3155`
⇒ `(1045x)/1000 = 3155` ...[∵ Sales tax included in selling price]
⇒ `x = (3155 xx 1000)/1045`
= `3155000/1045`
= Rs. 3019.1387
⇒ x = Rs. 3019.14
Hence, the price of the product before sales tax is Rs. 3019.14
