To calculate sales tax in company receipts then just divide the entire receipts divided by (sales rate plus 1). For eg.:- If a company sells TV for Rs 21,000. If sales tax is 5%. then C.P of TV will be Rs. 21,000 / 1.05 = Rs. 20,000.

Find the number of terms of the A.P: 7, 13, 19, ...., 205?
The first term, t1=a = 7. The common difference, b=13 - 7=6. Last term or the nth term, tn=a + (n-1)b = 205. So, we have, 7 + (n - 1)6 = 205 --> (n - 1) = (205 - 7)/6 = 33 --> n = 34. Answer: Number of terms is 34.
