Marks: +1, -0

A shopkeeper allows a discount of 10% on the marked price of an item but charges a sales tax of 8% on the discounted price. If the customer pays 3,402 as the price including the sales tax, then the marked price is

3,400

Validate

Solution:

Marked price of article = Rs. x (let)
∴ S.P. of article
= Rs.

(x×{90}/{100} × {108}/{100})

∴ x ×

{90}/{100} × {108}/{100}

= 3402
⇒ x =

{3402×100×100}/{90×108}

= Rs. 3500
