Question

Dhoni purchased a bat for Rs 1100 inclusive of the sales tax. If the rate of sales tax is 10 %, then what is the selling price of the bat?

• A. 900
• B. 1000
• C. 1210
• D. 1024

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1000

Given that, the total cost of the bat (inclusive of sales tax) = Rs 1100
The rate of sales tax is 10%.
Let 'x' be the selling price of the bat.
Then the total cost = $x+x\times \left(\frac{10}{100}\right)=1.1\times x=1100$
$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1100}{1.1}=Rs1000$
Therefore the selling price of the bat is Rs 1000.
