Answer 1

Answer:

7000

Step-by-step explanation:

let price before VAT = x

VAT = 10%

price after VAT = 7700

according to the question,

PRICE BEFORE VAT + VAT% ON PRICE = PRICE AFTER VAT

x + 10% of x = 7700

x + 10x/100 = 7700

x+x/10= 7700

(10x+ x) /10 =7700

11x = 7700 x 10

11x = 77000

x= 77000/11

x= 7000
