Question

hey guys, pls answer it

Prachi bought medicines from a medical store as prescribed by her doctor for ₹36.40 including 4% VAT. Find the price before VAT was added.

Answer 1

$<b>Heya mate. (^_-). Solution below.$
====================================

♦ Let the original price be 'x'.



♦ Then, VAT added,

= 4% of x

= 4/100 × x

= 4x/100



♦ Price including VAT,

= original price + VAT

= x + 4x/100

= (100x + 4x)/100

= 104x/100



♦ But, according to the question, price including VAT = 36.40


→→→ 104x/100 = 36.40

=> x = 36.40 × 100/104

=> x = 3640/104

=> x = 35


•°• The price before VAT was added was 35 Rs.
