Question

In a restaurant, when 15% VAT was levied on a bill, then the customer pays Rs 75 for VAT. What is the bill amount without VAT?

Answer 1

Rs. 500

Explanation:

• VAT percentage = 15%

• VAT amount = ₹ 75

• Let the bill amount without VAT be ₹x

• -> 15% of x = 75

• -> 0.15x = 75

• -> x = 75/0.15

• -> x = ₹ 500
