Exercise 1(A)

Question 1.
Rajat purchases a wrist-watch costing ₹ 540. The rate of sales tax is 8%. Find the total amount paid by Rajat for the watch.
Solution:
Sale price of watch = ₹ 540
Rate of sales tax = 8%
Total amount paid by Rajat = ₹ 540 + 8% of ₹ 540
= ₹ 540 + $$\frac { 8 }{ 100 }$$ × 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.
Solution:
Sale price = ₹ 3,840
Sales tax paid = ₹ 345.60

Question 3.
The price of a washing machine, inclusive of sales tax is ₹ 13,530/-. If the sales tax is 10%, find its basic cost price.
Solution:
Selling price of washing machine = ₹ 13,530

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 + $$\frac { 6 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 9 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 13 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 15 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 6 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 12 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 7 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 10 }{ 100 }$$ × 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 + $$\frac { 20 }{ 100 }$$ × 2400
= ₹ 2,400 + ₹ 480 = ₹ 2,880
Cost price for customer = ₹ 2,880+ 12% of ₹ 2,880
= ₹ 2,880 + $$\frac { 12 }{ 100 }$$ × 2880
= ₹ 2,880 + ₹ 345.60
= ₹ 3,225.60

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.
Solution:
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

Question 12.
A shopkeeper announces a discount of 15% on his goods. If the marked price of an article, in his shop, is ₹ 6,000; how much a customer has to pay for it, if the rate of sales tax is 10%?
Solution:

Sale price after discount = ₹ 6,000 – 15% of ₹ 6,000
= ₹ 6,000 – ₹ 900
₹ 5,100
Rate of sales tax = 10%
Cost price for customer = ₹ 5,100 + 10% of ₹ 5,100
= ₹ 5,100+ ₹ 510
= ₹ 5,610

Solution:
Purchase price for shopkeeper = ₹ 6,200
Sale price for shopkeeper = ₹ 8,500
Tax paid by the shopkeeper = 8% of 6,200 = ₹ 496
= $$\frac { 8 }{ 100 }$$ × 6,200
Tax charged by the shopkeeper= 8% of 8,500

Solution:
Purchase price for A = ₹ 3,600
Tax paid by A = 10% of ₹ 3,600
= $$\frac { 10 }{ 100 }$$ × 3,600 = ₹ 360
Purchase price for B = ₹ 4,800
Tax paid by B to A = 10% of ₹ 4,800
= $$\frac { 10 }{ 100 }$$ × 4,800 = ₹ 480
Purchase price for C = ₹ 5,500
Tax paid by C to B = 10% of ₹ 5,500
= $$\frac { 10 }{ 100 }$$ × 5,500 = ₹ 550
VAT paid by A = ₹ 480 – ₹ 360 = ₹ 120
VAT paid by B = ₹ 550 – ₹ 480 = ₹ 70

Question 3.

Tax paid by manufacturer = 4% of ₹ 60,000
= $$\frac { 4 }{ 100 }$$ × 60,000 = ₹ 2,400
Sale price for manufacturer = ₹ 92,000
Tax charged by manufacturer = 12.5% of ₹ 92,000
= $$\frac { 12.5 }{ 100 }$$ × 92,000 = ₹ 11,500
VAT paid by manufacturer = ₹ 11,500 – ₹ 2,400

Sale price for distributor= ₹ 7,500
Tax charged by distributor= 12.5% of ₹ 7,500
= $$\frac { 12.5 }{ 100 }$$ × 7,500 = ₹ 937.50
VAT paid by distributor = ₹ 937.50 – ₹ 750
= ₹ 187.50
Sale price for trader = ₹ 8,000
Tax charged by trader = 12.5% of ₹ 8,000
= $$\frac { 12.5 }{ 100 }$$ × 8,000 = ₹ 1000
