Question

lsha purchased a hair dryer for Rs.5,400 including 8%VAT what was the price before adding VAT (a)4500 (b) 4200 (c)4700 (d)5000​

Answer 1

Given,

VAT = 8%

Let the original price be Rs. 100

  Original price +  VAT  = Rs. 100 + Rs. \left ( 8\%\, of\, 100 \right )

  Original price +  VAT  = Rs. 100 + Rs. 8 = Rs. 108

\therefore If the price after VAT is Rs.5400, then the price before VAT is  Rs. \frac{100}{108}\times5400 = Rs. 5000

\therefore The price before VAT was added is Rs. 5000.

Question

lsha purchased a hair dryer for Rs.5,400 including 8%VAT what was the price before adding VAT

(a)4500 (b) 4200 (c)4700 (d)5000

Answer : (d)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.
