Answer 1

(5).

Let the original price of the purse before VAT be x.

= > VAT = 8% of x

              = 8x/100

              = 2x/25.


Price including VAT = (x + 2x/25)

                                  = (27x/25)



Given that Anjana buys a purse for 523.80 including VAT.

= > 27x/25 = 523.80

= > 27x = 523.80 * 25

= > 27x = 13095

= > x = 13095/27

= > x = 485.

Therefore the original price = 485.

Given that VAT increases to 10%.

= > 485 + 485 * (10/100)

= > 485 + 48.5

= > 533.5.



Therefore the new selling price = 533.5.



Hope this helps!
