Question

I purchased a hair dryer for ₹5,400 including 8 VAT .find the price before VAT was added

Answer 1

let the price before vat is added is - x

⇒ vat is equal to 8x/100 = 4x/50 = 2x/25

we know that original price + vat to be added = our cost price

⇒ x + 4x/50 = 5400

⇒ 54x/50 = 5400

⇒ x/50 = 100

⇒ x = 5000

the original price before vat was added is 5000 Rs/-

Question

I purchased a hair dryer for ₹5400 including 8% VAT Find the price before VAT was added.

Answer : =5000

Solution

Price after 8% VAT = 5400

If the initial price=x

VAT = 8%

Final price = $x+ \frac{8 x}{100}$

$= \: x \: ( \frac{108}{100} )$

Given:- $\frac{108 x}{100} = 5400$

⇒ x =$\frac{ 5400×100}{108} = 5000$

=5000

∴ The price of hair dryer before VAT was added =5000Rs.
