4% sales tax on the sale of an article is Rs 2. What is the amount of sale?

Fahim Raza Ansari

To calculate the amount of sale, let the sale amount be x

The sales tax is 4% of  x, and it is given as Rs 2. Therefore:

4% of x

(4/100)*x=2

x= (2*100)/4

Thus, the amount of sale is 50

If the sales tax of 4 percent on an article amounts to Rs 2, you can calculate the sale amount by dividing the tax by the tax rate.

So, Rs 2 divided by 0.04 equals Rs 50. This means the sale price before tax is Rs 50.

Adding the Rs 2 tax gives a total of Rs 52, which is the price after tax.
