Find the cost of the bill without VAT:
100 + 5 = 105%
105% = 1450
1% = 1450/105
100% = 1450/105 x 100 = Rs 1380.95
Find the price after discount:
Discount = 8% x Rs 1380.95 = 0.08 x 1380.95 = Rs 110.48
1380.95 - 110.48 = Rs 1270.47
Find the price with VAT:
5% VAT = 5% x 1270.47 = 0.05 x 1270.47 = Rs 63.52
1270.47 + 63.52 = Rs 1334
Answer: She needs to pay the hotel Rs 1334

no bro the answer must be rupees 1334
sorry, forgot to edit my last statement when I was checking through. The rest of the work is correct.
@toofree 1380.95 - 110.48 = 1270.47 not 1279.47 and adding 1270.47 + 63.52 = 1334.
Thank you. I will look for someone to give me an edit.
yup , welcome.
Apology to @subbu30, did not quite get it when you said the answer was different - I read 1334 and 1344 as the same :( .
Thank you @knowledgeseekar for taking the trouble to look through the work and highlighting the exact error .. :)
Edited my answer already.
