Question

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

Answer 1

it means price before tax was added =92%5400

                                                             =92/100 ₓ 5400

                                                             =92 ₓ 54

                                                             =4968

Answer 2

8%vat means that if the price is RS100. then price including vat will be RS 108 . price with vat is 108. original price is 100.so price including vat is RS 5400
100/108×5400=5000
