$\therefore x+ \dfrac{7}{100} \times  x = 2568$
$ \Rightarrow 107x  = 256800$
$ \Rightarrow x = 2400$
$\therefore$ Reduction in the price of radio $ = 2568 - 2400 = 168$

$\Rightarrow 4x=30$
$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{30}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x=7.5\%$

  4. $680$

  5. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$\Rightarrow$  Cost of article $= Rs. 10,000$.

$\Rightarrow$  Tax paid by Shyam $= 7\%$ of Rs. $10,000$
$\Rightarrow$  Tax paid by Shyam = $\dfrac{7}{100}\times 10000=Rs.700$
$\Rightarrow$  Selling price of the article  $=$ Rs. $13,000$
$\Rightarrow$  Tax charged at $9\% = 9\%$ of $13,000$
$\Rightarrow$  Tax charged at $9\% = \dfrac{9}{100}\times 13000=$ Rs. $1170$
$\Rightarrow$  VAT = Tax recovered on sale - Tax paid on purchase
$\Rightarrow$  VAT $= 1170 - 700$
$\therefore$   $VAT=Rs.470$

We have list price of the TV=Rs$12000$

Let the rate of Sales Tax be $x$%
Now, the rate of Sales Tax will be$=\dfrac { x }{ 100 } \times 12000=120x$
Price including sales tax$=13440$
$\Rightarrow 12000+120x=13440$
 $\Rightarrow 120x=1440$
$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac { 1440 }{ 120 } =12$
So the rate of sales tax is $12$%

$\Rightarrow$  Tax paid by the shopkeeper $= 8\%$ of $6,200 = \dfrac{8}{100}\times 6,200=Rs.\ 496$
$\Rightarrow$  Tax charged by the shopkeeper $= 8\%$ of $8,500 = \dfrac{8}{100}\times 8,500=Rs.\ 680$
$\Rightarrow$  Then VAT paid by the shopkeeper = $Rs.680-Rs.496=Rs.184$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
Let the cost price for the Tarun be rs.x
$\therefore x+10\% $ of $x=3366$

$\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{10x}{100}=3366$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{110x}{100}=3366$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{33660}{11}=Rs.3060$

(i)The reduction needed in the cost price of the coat
$\Rightarrow 3600-3060=Rs.540$

(II)Reduction Percentage$=\dfrac{540}{3600}\times 100=15$%

  4. $A =$ Rs. $2,400$; $B =$ Rs. $3,600$.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Let the M.P of the article A=$Rs.x$
Then M.P of the article B $=Rs(6000-x)$
Then according to the question

$\dfrac{8}{100}x+\dfrac{10}{100}(6000-x)=552$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{8x}{100}+600-\dfrac{10x}{100}=552$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{8x}{100}-\dfrac{10x}{100}=552-600$

$\Rightarrow -\dfrac{2x}{100}=-48$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4800}{2}=2400$

Hence M.P of article A $=Rs. 2400$
Then M.P of article $B=6000-2400=Rs.2600$

A shopkeeper sells an article for Rs. 21,384 including 10% sales-tax. However, the actual rate of sales-tax is 8%. Find the extra profit made by the dealer.

  1. Rs. 230

  2. Rs. 388.80

  3. Rs. 540.40

  4. Rs. 810
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Let the M.P of the article be $x$

$\therefore x+10\%$  of $x=21384$

$\Rightarrow x+\dfrac{10}{100}x=21384$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{110x}{100}=21384$

$\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{213840}{11}=Rs.19440$

If the rate of sales $tax=8\%$

$\therefore $new selling price$=19440+8\% $ of $19440$

$\Rightarrow 19440+\dfrac{8}{100}\times 19440$

$\Rightarrow 19440+1555.20=rs.20995.20$

Profit made by the dealer$=21384-20995.20=Rs.388.80$
