Question

Mr. Sinha purchased a scooter for 48505 Rs including 9% VAT.Find the original price of the scooter without VAT.

Answer 1

Let the original price be x
then 
x + 9% of x = 48505 
⇒ x + 9/100 × x = 48505
⇒ 109/100 x = 48505
⇒ x = 48505 × 100/109
x = 44500
so the price of the hair dryer was 44500 before including vat.

Answer 2

Answer:

The original price of scooter is Rs.44500.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mr. Sinha purchased a scooter for 48505 Rs including 9% VAT

To Find : Find the original price of the scooter without VAT.

Solution:

Let the original cost of scooter be x

VAT % = 9%

Cost including VAT = $x+9\%x=x+\frac{9}{100}x=\frac{109}{100}x$

We are given that the cost of scooter including VAT is Rs.48505

So, $\frac{109}{100}x=48505$

$x=48505 \times \frac{100}{109}$

$x=44500$

Hence the original price of scooter is Rs.44500.
