Find the buying price of each of the following items when a sales tax of 5% is added on them. (1) a towel of ₹50 (ii) Two bars of soap at ₹35 each.

Answer»

Given that Sales tax = 5% 

(i) Cost of a towel = ₹ 50 

Sales Tax = 5% of 50 

= \(\frac{5}{100}\) x 50 = \(\frac{5}{2}\) = ₹ 2.50 

∴ C.P. = Net Price + Sales 

Tax = 50 + 2.50 = ₹ 52.50

(ii) The cost of two soaps at the rate of ₹ 35 each = 2 × 35 = ₹ 70 

Sales Tax = 5% of 70

\(\frac{5}{100}\) × 70 = \(\frac{7}{2}\) = ₹ 3.50 

∴ C.P. = Net Price + Sales 

Tax = 70 + 3.50 = ₹ 73.50
