Question

a watch was bought for Rs 2,700 including 8•/• VAT . find it's price before the VAT was added​

Answer 1

Answer:

 Cost of watch including VAT = ₹ 2,700

Let the initial cost of the watch be ₹ 100

VAT = 8% of ₹ 100 = ₹ 8

Cost of watch including VAT = ₹ 100 + ₹ 8 = ₹ 108

If cost including VAT is ₹ 108, then its initial cost = ₹ 100

If cost including VAT is ₹ 1, then its initial cost = ₹ 100108

If cost including VAT is ₹ 2,700, then its initial cost = ₹ 100108 × 2700 = ₹ 2500

Hence, the required cost = ₹ 2,500
