If 'r' stands for the percentage rate of Sales Tax say then (100+r) will be the Sale Price. While its cost price is 100 and 'r' will be the Sales Tax '. Therefore, if 'SP stands for actual Sale Price and 'ST' stands for actual Sales tax then we have:- (100+r) : r :: SP : ST OR (100+r)/r = SP / ST...

If 'r' stands for the percentage rate of Sales Tax say then (100+r) will be the Sale Price. While its cost price is 100 and 'r' will be the Sales Tax '. Therefore, if 'SP stands for actual Sale Price and 'ST' stands for actual Sales tax then we have:- (100+r) : r :: SP : ST OR (100+r)/r = SP / ST From this formula , given the values of any two of 'r' ; 'SP' ; 'ST' the value of the third can be found. In the given Sum, r = 10, SP = 17600 ST =? from the above formula, we can write ST =r * SP /(100+r) = 10 * 17600 /(100+10) = 10 * 17600/110 = Rs.1600. Therefore, the Sales Tax on the Refrigerator is Rs.1600. read less
