Question

if 8 % VAT is included in the prices find the original price of a shampoo bottle bought for rupees 180​

Answer 1

It is given that

Total cost of shampoo bottle including VAT=Rs.180

Rate of VAT=8%

We know that

Original price of shampoo =(180×100)/(100+8)

By further calculation

=(180×100)/108

So we get

=500/3

=Rs.166.67
