Given:

The price of CPU = Rs. 18256 inclusive of sales tax

Rate of sales tax = 12%

Calculation:

Let the printed price of the CPU = X

According to the question

x + 12% of x = 18256

⇒ x + 12x/100 = 18256

⇒ (100x + 12x)/100 = 18256

⇒ 112x/100 = 18256

⇒ 112x = 1825600

⇒ x = 1825600/112

⇒ x = 16300

∴ The printed price of the CPU is Rs. 16300.
