Answer 1

It is given that

M.P. of washing machine =Rs.10900

Rate of VAT =9%

Consider Rs. x as the reduced price of machine

We know that

VAT at the rate of 9%=x×9/100=Rs.9x/100

So the amount paid =x+9x/100=109x/100

By equating the values

109x/100=10900

By further calculation

x=(10900×100)/109

x=10000

Amount reduced by the shopkeeper =10900–10000

=Rs.900

Therefore, the amount reduced by the shopkeeper is Rs.900.
