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:

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
