Question

Q) Sandhya purchased a bag for ₹2500 inclusive of 8% VAT.Find the price of bag before the VAT.​

Answer 1

sp with vat = Rs. 2500

vat% = 8%

so,

let sp without vat be x

vat amount = vat% of sp

= 8% of x

8x/100

again

sp with vat = sp without vat + vat amount

2500= x + 8x/100

2500=108x/100

250000=108x

x = 2314.81

so, the price if the bag before vat was rs. 2314.81
