Question

Rajiv purchases a table for Rs. 756 including sales tax. If the sales tax is 8% find the sale price.

• A. Rs. 600
  
• B. Rs. 700
  
• C. Rs. 800
  
• D. Rs. 900

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Rs. 700

Let sale price be $x$
756 = $x$ + $\frac{8}{100}x$ [ $\because$ amount paid = sale price + sales tax]
$\frac{108}{100}x=756$
$x=\frac{756\times 100}{108}=₹700$

So, sales price is ₹ 700
