Question

Mr. Arora buys a colour T.V for Rs 17,200 including sales tax is 12.5%, then actual sale of the T.V is

Answer 1

Let the actual price of the T.V. be Rs. $x$. Then,

$x+\frac{12.5}{100}x=17200$

$x+\frac{125}{1000}x=17200$

$1125x=17200\times 1000$

$x=\frac{17200\times 1000}{1125}$

$x=15288$ $Rs.$
