Question

a hair dryer is purchased for rs 5400 including 8% VAT . find the price before VAT was added

Answer 1

Answer:

Price of hair dryer before VAT = Rs.5,000.

(therefore the 8% VAT = 400)

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll tell you a trick here. whenever you have to extract tax or any percentage from a give price/ number, simply put that tax number after 1. (one point) and divide with it.

as in, for example over here what I did is -

5,400 ÷ 1.08

= 5,000

Now let's reverse check it to confirm:

5000 + 8%

= 5000 +400

= 5,400.

there you go! hope my answer was helpful!!!

Question

A hair dryer 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.
