Solution:

Sale price of watch = ₹ 540

Rate of sales tax = 8%

Total amount paid by Rajat = ₹ 540 + 8% of ₹ 540

= ₹ 540 +× 540

= ₹ 540 + ₹ 43.20

= ₹ 583.20

Question 2.

Ramesh paid ₹ 345.60 as sales tax on a purchase of ₹ 3,840. Find the rate of sales tax.

Question 4.

Sarita purchases biscuits costing ₹ 158 on which the rate of sales tax is 6%. She also purchases some cosmetic goods costing ₹ 354 on which the rate of sales tax is 9%. Find the total amount to be paid by Sarita.

Solution:

Sale price of biscuits = ₹ 158

Rate of sales tax on biscuits= 6%

Amount paid for biscuits= ₹ 158 + 6% of ₹ 158

= ₹ 158 +× 158

= ₹ 158 + ₹ 9.48

= ₹ 167.48

Sale price of cosmetic goods = ₹ 354

Rate of sales tax= 9%

Amount paid for cosmetic goods = ₹ 354 + 9% of ₹ 354

= ₹ 354 +× 354

= ₹ 354 + ₹ 31.86

= ₹ 385.86

Total amount paid by Sarita = ₹ 167.48 + ₹ 385.86

= ₹ 553.34

Question 5.

The marked price of two articles A and B together is ₹ 6,000. The sales tax on article A is 8% and that on article B is 10%. If on selling both the articles, the total sales tax collected is ₹ 552, find the marked price of collected of the articles A and B.

Solution:

Let the marked price of article A be ₹ x and article B be ₹ y.

The marked price of A and B together is ₹ 6,000.

⇒ x + y = 6,000 ……..(i)

The sales tax on article A is 8% and that on article B is 10%.

Also the total sales tax collected on selling both the articles is ₹ 552.

⇒ 8% of x + 10% of y = 552

⇒ 8x + 10y = 55,200 ……..(ii)

Multiply equation (i) by 8 and subtract it from equation (ii) we get,

2y = 7,200

⇒ y =3,600

Substituting y = 3,600 in equation (i) we get,

x + 3,600 = 6,000

⇒ x = 2,400

The marked price of article A is ₹ 2,400 and article B is ₹ 3,600.

Question 6.

The price of a T.V. set inclusive of sales tax of 9% is ₹ 13,407. Find its marked price. If sales tax is increased to 13%, how much more does the customer has to pay for the T.V.?

Solution:

(i) Total price paid for T.V. = ₹ 13,407

Rate of sales tax = 9%

Let sale price = ₹ y

According to question

  

New rate of sales tax = 13%

New total price for T.V. = ₹ 12,300+ 13% of ₹ 12,300

= ₹ 12,300 +× 12,300

= ₹ 12,300 + ₹ 1,599

= ₹ 13,899

More money paid = ₹ 13,899 – ₹ 13,407 = ₹ 492

Question 7.

The price of an article is ₹ 8,250 which includes sales tax at 10%. Find how much more or less does a customer pay for the article, if the sales tax on the article:

(i) increases to 15%

(ii) decreases to 6%

(iii) increases by 2%

(iv) decreases by 3%

Solution:

Let sale price of article = ₹ y

Total price inclusive of sales tax = ₹ 8,250

Rate of sales tax = 10%

According to question

  

(i) New rate of sales tax = 15%

New total price = ₹ 7,500 + 15% of ₹ 7,500

= ₹ 7,500 +× 7,500

= ₹ 7,500 + ₹ 1,125 = ₹ 8,625

More money paid = ₹ 8,625 – ₹ 8,250 = ₹ 375

(ii) New rate of sales tax = 6%

New total price = ₹ 7,500 + 6% of ₹ 7,500

= ₹ 7,500 +× 7,500

= ₹ 7,500 +₹ 450 = ₹ 7,950

Less money paid = ₹ 8,250 – ₹ 7,950 = ₹ 300

(iii) New rate of sales tax = (10+2)% = 12%

New total price = ₹ 7,500 + 12% of ₹ 7,500

= ₹ 7,500 +× 7,500

= ₹ 7,500+ ₹ 900 = ₹ 8,400

More money paid = ₹ 8,400 – ₹ 8,250 = ₹ 150

(iv) New rate of sales tax =(10-3)%= 7%

New total price = ₹ 7,500+ 7% of ₹ 7,500

= ₹ 7,500 +× 7,500

= ₹ 7,500 + ₹ 525 = ₹ 8,025

Less money paid = ₹ 8,250 – ₹ 8,025 = ₹ 225

Question 8.

A bicycle is available for ₹ 1,664 including sales tax. If the list price of the bicycle is ₹ 1,600, find :

(i) the rate of sales tax.

(ii) the price, a customer will pay for the bicycle if the sales tax is increased by 6%.

Solution:

Price of bicycle inclusive of sales tax = ₹ 1,664

List price of bicycle = ₹ 1,600

(i) Sales tax= ₹ 1,664 – ₹ 1,600 = ₹ 64

(ii) New rate of sales tax =(4+6)% = 10%

New total price = ₹ 1,600+ 10% of ₹ 1,600

= ₹ 1,600 +× 1,600

= ₹ 1,600 + ₹ 160

= ₹ 1,760

Solution:

Purchase price = ₹ 1,800

Expenditure = ₹ 600

Total price = ₹ 1,800+ ₹ 600 = ₹ 2,400

M.P. of article = ₹ 2,400 + 20% of ₹ 2400

= ₹ 2,400 +× 2400

= ₹ 2,400 + ₹ 480 = ₹ 2,880

Cost price for customer = ₹ 2,880+ 12% of ₹ 2,880

= ₹ 2,880 +× 2880

= ₹ 2,880 + ₹ 345.60

= ₹ 3,225.60

Question 11.

A shopkeeper buys an article for ₹ 800 and spends ₹ 100 on its transportation, etc. He marks the article at a certain price and then sells it for ₹ 1,287 including 10% sales tax. Find his profit as percent.

C.P. of an article = ₹ 800

Expenditure = ₹ 100

Total C.P. = ₹ 800 + ₹ 100 = ₹ 900

Let sale price = ₹ y

Sale price inclusive of sales tax = ₹ 1,287

Rate of sales tax = 10%

Then y + 10% of y = ₹ 1,287

₹ 5,100

Rate of sales tax = 10%

Cost price for customer = ₹ 5,100 + 10% of ₹ 5,100

= ₹ 5,100+ ₹ 510

= ₹ 5,610
