The price of a car including 6 percent, sales tax is Rs. 154431.40. What is the market price of the car without tax?

Answer: 145690
Explanation

To find the market price of the car without tax, we need to remove the 6% sales tax from the total price of Rs. 154,431.40.

Let the market price of the car be P.

Including 6% sales tax, the equation is:

P + 0.06P = 154,431.40

1.06P = 154,431.40

Now, solve for P:

P = 154,431.40/1.06

P = 145,690

So, the market price of the car without tax is Rs. 145,690.
