Question

The rate of sales tax on trousers is 10%. One can buy a pair of trousers at $ 660. What is the marked price?

Answer 1

Answer: $600

Explanation:

The marked price is the price of the trouser without a sales tax.

The sales tax is 10% which means it increased the marked price by 10% to get to $660.

Assume that price is x:

660 = (1 + 10%) * x

x = 660/(1 + 10%)

x = $600
