Answer 1

The amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is €9.31.

Explanation:

Given;

Total Amount paid by Jeremy = €58.31.

VAT = 19 %

We need to find the VAT amount paid by Jeremy.

Let the Actual amount of calculator be x

VAT Amount =
`19\% * x=(19)/(100)x=0.19x`

Hence Total amount will be equal to actual price plus VAT amount.

`x+0.19x=58.31\\1.19x=58.31\\x=(58.31)/(1.19) = 49`

Hence the Actual amount of calculator is €49.

Now VAT amount =
`0.19x=0.19* 49= 9.31`

Hence, the amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is €9.31.
