Question

I purchased room heater for rs 5400 including 8% VAT. find the price before VAT was added?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the original price be x

then

x+8% of x = 5400

x+8/100 × x = 5400

108/100 = 5400

x = 5400 ×100/108

x = 5000

so the price of the hair dryer was 5000 before including VAT
