1.	A customer goes to a store to buy a bag costing Rs. 648 at marked rice. The sales tax to be levied on the bag is 8%. But the customer asks the trader to give a discount, after which she has to pay Rs. 648 to buy the bag. How much discount was given to the customer ?
Answer» Let the price of the bag after the discount be Rs. 100x. Price after sales tax =100x+8x =Rs. 108x Given that 108x=648 `implies x=6` Price after discount =Rs. 100x `=100xx6` =Rs. 600 `therefore ` Discount given =648-600=Rs. 48.
