Question

Devi orders one bowl of ramen at a Japanese restaurant which offers an 18% discount.There is a service charge of 10% and GST is at 7%.Given that she pays a total of

$10.13.Find the marked price of the ramen.

Answer 1

The market price of one bowl of ramen is $ 12.14

Explanation:

Given as :

The total amount paid for bowl of ramen = $10.13

The discount on ramen = 18 %

The service charge applied = 10 %

The GST applied = 7%

Let The market price of bowl of ramen = $x

So, According to question

The price of ramen after 18% discount = x - 18% of x

= 82% of x

Now,

82% of x + 10 % + 7 % = $10.13

Or, 82 % of x = 10.13 - 0.1 - 0.07

Or, 82 % of x = 9.96

Or, x =
`(9.96* 100)/(82)` = $ 12.14

Hence The market price of one bowl of ramen is $ 12.14 Answer
