Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 2500/-

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Make a Linear Equation

Given VAT =8%

Let pirce of the Watch= x

and the buying price is Rs. 2700

So, x + x × 8/100 = 2700

Step 2: Find the value of x

108x/100 = 2700

-> 1.08x = 2700

-> x = 2500

So, before VAT the price was Rs. 2500

Hence, before VAT the price was Rs. 2500/-
