Question

A watch was bought for ₹ 4815 including 7% VAT. Find its price before the VAT was added.

Answer 1

$\huge{\underline{Solution}}$

※ Let the price without vat be x

A.T.Q

$⟹\sf{x +\dfrac{7}{100}}$

$⟹\sf{x = 4815}$

$⟹\sf{x + 0.07x = 4815}$

$⟹\sf{1.07x = 4815}$

$⟹\sf{x = \dfrac{4815}{1.07}}$

$⟹\sf{x = 4500}$

★ so, its price before the VAT was added was 4500
