Question

after allowing 20 percent discount on the marked price of a radio 15 percent vat is levied on it , if its price become rs 22080 ,what amount was levied in the vat​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hello, let's say that the price was P, a real number.

After 20% discount it become P - 20% * P = P* (1-20%) = P * (1 - 0.2)

= P * 0.8

And then we take 15% for the VAT, the new price become P * 0.8 * ( 1 + 15%)

= P * 0.8 * 1.15

And this is equal to 22080, so

P * 0.8 * 1.15 = 22080

and the amount of the VAT is P *0.8 * 0.15

`=(22080)/(1.15)*0.15=2880`

Hope this helps.

Thank you.
