Question

i purchased a hair dryer for rupees 5400 including 8% vat find the prices before vat was added

Answer 1

Let the price of hair dryer be x.

According to the question ;

x + x of 8 % = Rs 5400

⇒ x + x * 8 / 100 = 5400

⇒ x + 2x / 25 = 5400

⇒ 25x + 2x / 25 = 5400

⇒ 27 x / 25 = 5400

⇒ 27 x = 5400 * 25

⇒ x = 5400 * 25 / 27

⇒ x = 200 * 25

⇒ x = 50000

Hence, the price of hair dryer is Rs 50,000.

Question

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

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.
