1. Given :

   • The article is available for Rs 1430
   • Inclusive of sales tax at the rate of 10% .

   To find :

   • List price

   Solution

   Sale price = Rs 1430

   Rate of sale tax = 10%

   Let list price be Rs x

   Therefore ,

   Sale price = List price + Sales tax

   [tex]1430 = x + \frac{10}{100} \times x[/tex]

   [tex]x = \frac{1430 \times 100}{110} = rs \: 1300[/tex]

   or

   Hence , the list price = Rs 1300

   Now , If the rate of sale tax = 12%

   Then ,

   Sale price will become

   [tex] = 1300 + \frac{12}{100} \times 1300 = 1300 + 156 = 1456[/tex]

   = Rs 1456
