Question

If 10% VAT is included in the price of a refrigerator bought for ₹16500, find its original price.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15000 is the answer. 15000 + 10% vat = 16500

Step-by-step explanation:

11x / 10 = 16500

x = 16500 × 10 / 11

= 15000

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of the VAT i.e., included in the price of the refrigerator = 10%

The price of the refrigerator after including the VAT = Rs. 16500

Let the original price of the refrigerator be Rs. "x".

Therefore, we can write the eq. as,

x + 10% of x = 16500

⇒ x + 0.1x = 16500

⇒ 1.1x = 16500

⇒ x =  

⇒ x = Rs. 15000 ← original price of the refrigerator
