Question

Raheem purchased a pair of shoes for Rs.243 inclusive of 8% VAT. Find the marked
price of the shoes

Answer 1

Let the Marked price be 'x'
x+8x/100=243
implies-  108x/100=243
implies-   12x/100= 27
implies-    4x/100=9
implies-     4x=900
then            x=900/4
                   x=225
therefore marked price=Rs.225

Answer 2

Answer:

marked price=Rs.225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the Marked price be 'x'

x+8x/100=243

implies-  108x/100=243

implies-   12x/100= 27

implies-    4x/100=9

implies-     4x=900

then            x=900/4

                  x=225

therefore marked price=Rs.225
