Question
The price of a washing machine, inclusive of sales tax is Rs 13,530/-. If the sales tax is 10%, find its basic cost price.
Solution
The selling price of washing machine = Rs 13,530
Rate of sales tax = 10%
Let the cost price = x
`"Tax" = 10/100xxx = x/10`
Price inclusive Tax = Rs 13,530
`x/1+x/10=13530`
`(10x+x)/10 =13530`
`(11x)/10 = 13530`
`x=(13530xx10)/11`
`x = "Rs". 12300`
