21. A water filter is purchased for Rs.5400 including

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs.5000

Step-by-step explanation:

Price including VAT. = 5400

let say actual price is x.

VAT = 8% of x.

So, x + 8% of x = 5400

=> 108% of x = 5400

=> 108*x/100 = 5400

=> x = 5400*100/108

=> x = 5000.

Hope you are satisfied with the solution.

Question

A water filter is purchased for Rs.5400 including 8% VAT. Find the price before VAT was added

Answer : 5000

Solution

Price after 8% VAT = 5400

If the initial price=x

VAT = 8%

Final price = $x+ \frac{8 x}{100}$

$= \: x \: ( \frac{108}{100} )$

Given:- $\frac{108 x}{100} = 5400$

⇒ x =$\frac{ 5400×100}{108} = 5000$

=5000

∴ The price of hair dryer before VAT was added =5000Rs.
