Answer:

Explanation:

i) Vat % = 15%

Tax = 15% of 1600


= (15)/(100)*1600\\\\= 15*16

= $ 240

Total amount = selling price + tax

= 1600 + 240

= $ 1840

ii) Original price = $ x

The sale price was 20% less than the original price. $ 1600 is (100-20) = 80% of the original price.

80% of x = 1600


(80)/(100)*x = 1600\\\\\\x = 1600*(100)/(80)\\\\\\x = 20*100

Original price = $ 2000
