Question

Rajesh bought a mobile for rs54000 including 8% vat. find the original price of the mobile

Answer 1

Price of mobile including VAT= rs 54000

Let the original price= x

VAT= 8% of x

x+ 8% of x= 54000

x+8x/100=54000

(100x+8x)/100=54000

108x/100=54000

108x= 54000*100

108x =54,00,000

x= 54,00,000/108

x=50,000

So, the original price of mobile is Rs.50,000

Answer 2

vat is also known as the GST goods service tax.
CP =54000
vat=8 percent
original price = CP+ 8 percent of the CP
=54000+8×54000/100
=54000+4320
=58320
the answer is 58320
