A shopkeeper allows a discount of 20% on the marked price but charges 5% sales tax on the marked price and 5% service tax on the discounted price.
If the customer pays Rs. 2670 as price including tax, then what is the marked price on the item?

2670+5% of 2670=3204 – Oct 19 '18 at 10:16

Hint: Mark $x=\text{marketed price}$, and then take the percentages into account. You will arrive to an equation from which you will be able to solve $x$. – Matti P. Oct 19 '18 at 10:16
