please help me why the answer is 630 of this question ? Mandy sells goods worth $25,500 inclusive of sales tax and buys goods for $18,100 excluding sales tax. Relevant rate of Sales tax is 17.5% on the listed price. Calculate how much does Mandy has to pay the tax authorities in respect of these two transactions?
Sales including sales tax 25500 lets say good value is X then sale tax at of 17.5% will x*(17.5/100 ) + x = 25500 1.75x=25500 Sales Value = X + 21702 so 21702 + 21702 * 17.5% = 25500
on purchase we get sales tax refund from so net sale tax figure will be 21702-18100=3602 the sale tax paid to the authoties 3602*17.5% 630.35
