Question

Garima bicycle for Rs 432000 including a wet of 8% find the price before VAT was added

Answer 1

let the price before vat was added be x

x+8% of x=432000
$x + \frac{8}{100} \times x = 432000 \\ = > \frac{108x}{100} = 432000 \\ = > \frac{27x}{25} = 432000$
$x = \frac{432000 \times 25}{27} \\ x = 400000$
hence the original price is Rs 400000
