Answer:
Sale price of the set is Rs. 170
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Maya purchased a set of cosmetics and paid Rs. 187 for it including sales tax.
Rate of the sales tax is 10%
To find: the sale price of the set
Solution:
The sale price of the set (before including tax) = [tex]\frac{100}{100+rate\,\,of\,\,sales\,\,tax} (amount\,\,including\,\,sales\,\,tax)[/tex]
According to question,
[tex]The\,\, sale\,\, price\,\, of\,\, the \,\,set\,\, (before\,\, including\,\, tax)=\frac{100}{100+10}(187)\\ =\frac{100}{110}(187)\\ =170[/tex]
So,
the sale price of the set is Rs. 170
