4% sales tax on the sale of an article is Rs 2. What is the amount of sale?
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.
Let amount of sale be x
4 % of sales tax on X is 2
4*x/100= 2
x = 2*100/4
x = 50
