Answer 1

Answer: VAT = Rs. 288

Explanation:

2400 - 20% + x = 2208

2400 - 480 + x = 2208

1920 + x = 2208

x = 2208 - 1920

x = 288

Answer 2

700rs

Explanation:

Let the marked Price be Rs a

Discount percent = 20

=> Discount × 100 / Marked Price = 20

=> Discount × 100 /a = 20

=> Discount = 20a/100

=> Discount = a/5

Now,

Marked Price - Discount = Selling price

=> a - a/5 = 560

=> 4a/5 = 560

=> a = 560 ×5 / 4

=> a = 140 × 5

=> a = 700

Marked Price = Rs 700
