The price of a computer inclusive of sales tax is Rs 52000. If the rate of sales tax is 4%, find the list pric

Answer 1

Divide 52000 by 104% (1.04) and you'll have your answer, namely Rs 50000.

You can confirm this by going the other direction:
Original price: Rs 50000
Sales tax (4%): Rs 2000
Total price: Rs 52000

So the list price was Rs 50000.

Answer 2

selling price of the comp=Rs52000
let list price be Rs x.
so sales tax on comp =4% of Rs x
=4x/100
Now selling price = list price + sales tax

=> Rs 52000 = x + 4x/100
=104x/100

=> x =Rs 52000 * 100/104
=Rs 50000

Thus, the list price of the computer is Rs 50,000.
