Answer 1

☆heya your answer is here☆

CP = 981

VAT% = 9%

SP = 981

CP INCLUDING VAT = 981 + 9/100*981

= 981 + 88.29

= Rs 1069.29

DISCOUNT PRICE = CP - SP

= 1069.29 - 981

= Rs 88.29

Answer 2

Hello...
Answer...

Let the reduced price of the box after discount be Rs x. Then,

VAT= 9% of x = Rs 9x/100

$S. P = Rs(x + \frac{9x}{100} ) = Rs \: \frac{109x}{100}$


It is given that the selling price should be Rs 981.

$\frac{109x}{100} = 981 = > x = 900$


Thus, reduced price of the box after discount = Rs. 900.
