Answer 1

Let cost be x

`\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow x+0.15x=1449`

`\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1.15x=1449`

`\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow x=(1449)/(1.15)`

`\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow x=1260`

Answer 2

Solution given:

Vat=15%

Selling price with vat=Rs1449

Selling price with out vat=?

We have

Selling price with vat=Selling price without vat +Vat amount

Rs 1449=selling price without vat +vat % of selling price without vat

Rs1449=Selling price without vat(1+vat/%)

Selling price without vat=
`\bold{\frac{Rs1449} {1+(15)/(100)}}`

Selling price without vat=
`\bold{(Rs1449)/(1.15)}`

Selling price without vat=Rs1260

the cost of the watch without vat=Rs1260
