Question

At a restaurant you order a meal that costs 120 rs exclusive taxes. Total bill including the vat and a tip of 20 rs is 146. Find vat

Answer 1

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Money including only VAT is Rs. 126

Now let the VAT % be x,

120 + x% of 120 = 126

120 + x/100 × 120 = 126

120 + 6x/5 = 126

6x/5 = 126 - 120

6x/5 = 6

x = (6 × 5)/6

x = 30/6

x = 5%

Hence, VAT % is 5%
