Question

A watch was bought for ₹ 2,700 including 8% VAT. Find its price
before the VAT was added. *
​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Final price = ₹2700

Rate of VAT = 8%

Let the original price be x.

According to Question,

(100+8)% of x = 2700

=> 108% of x = 2700

=> 108/100 x = 2700

=> x = 2700 × 25/27

=> x = 2500

Hence, the price before VAT was added was ₹2500.

Answer 2

SOLUTION

GIVEN

A watch was bought for ₹ 2,700 including 8% VAT.

TO DETERMINE

The price before the VAT was added.

EVALUATION

Let us assume that the price before the VAT was added = ₹ 100C

Since the VAT is 8%

So VAT amount = ₹ 8C

Thus price after the VAT was added

= ₹ 100C + ₹ 8C

= ₹ 108C

So by the given condition

108C = 2700

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies C = \frac{2700}{108} }$

$\displaystyle \sf{ \implies C = 25}$

Hence the required price before the VAT was added

= ₹ 100C

= ₹ ( 100 × 25 )

= ₹ 2500

FINAL ANSWER

The price before the VAT was added

= ₹ 2500
