Question

i purchased a hair dryer for ₹5400 including 8% VAT find the price before VAT Was added

Answer 1

Let the original price was Rs x ,



After including a VAT of 8% of Rs x , it become of Rs 5400




= > Rs x + ( 8% of Rs x ) = 5400


$= \: > x + ( \frac{8}{100} \times x) = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = \: > x + \frac{8x}{100} = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = \: > \frac{100x + 8x}{100} = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = \: > \frac{108x}{100} = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = \: > x = \frac{5400 \times 100}{108} \\ \\ \\ = \: > x = 5 0 \times 100 \\ \\ \\ = \: > x = 5000$






Therefore, the price before VAT was included is ₹ 5000

Let the original price b4 VAT was added be x .
Vat % = 8
therefore,Vat amount = 8% of x
= 2/25 x
therefore , bill amount = x + 2/25 x
= 27/25 x

ATQ,
27/25x = 5400
=> x = 5400*25/27
=> x = 5000

so, The price b4 VAT was included was Rs.5000.
