Question

Find the selling price for each item.

Answer 1

Answer:

A ) The selling price of radio is $ 81.64

B ) The selling price of microscope is $ 72.94

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A ) Market price of radio = M.P = $ 125.60

Let The selling price of radio = S.P =  $ x

The discount = 35 %

So, Discount %  = $\dfrac{M.P - S.P}{M.P}$

Or, $\frac{35}{100}$ = $\dfrac{125.60 - x}{125.60}$

Or, $\frac{x}{125.60}$ = 1 - $\frac{35}{100}$

Or,  $\frac{x}{125.60}$ =  $\frac{100-35}{100}$

Or,  $\frac{x}{125.60}$ =  $\frac{65}{100}$

∴  x = $\frac{125.60\times 65}{100}$

I.e  x = $ 81.64

So, The selling price of radio is $ 81.64

B ) The market price of microscope = M.P = $ 96.25

    The discount = 20 %

    Tax percentage = 6 %

Let the selling price of microscope = $ y

Now, So, Discount %  = $\dfrac{M.P - S.P}{M.P}$

Or, $\frac{20}{100}$ = $\dfrac{96.25 - y}{96.25}$

Or, $\frac{y}{96.25}$ = 1 - $\frac{20}{100}$

Or,  $\frac{y}{96.25}$ =  $\frac{100-20}{100}$

Or,  $\frac{y}{96.25}$ =  $\frac{80}{100}$

∴  y = $\frac{96.25\times 80}{100}$

I,e y = $ 77

Again Tax of 6% is added

So , $ 77 - 6 % of $ 77

Or, $ 77 × 0.94 = $ 72.38

∴ The final cost of microscope after discount and tax is $ 72.94

Hence A ) The selling price of radio is $ 81.64

And     B ) The selling price of microscope is $ 72.94   Answer
