Question

Raju purchase a TV for rupees 5400 including 8% VAT find the price before VAT was added

Answer 1

Let the price when VAT was not added be Rs x,



After adding the VATA of 8% of x it became Rs 5400

So,



= > original price + VAT added = 5400


= > original price + ( 8% of original price ) = 5400


$= > x + ( \frac{8}{100} \times x) = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = > x + \frac{8x}{100} = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = > \frac{100x + 8x}{100} = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = > \frac{108x}{100} = 5400 \\ \\ \\ = > x = \frac{5400 \times 100}{108} \\ \\ \\ = > x = 50 \times 100$


= > x = 5000






Hence, Value of TV Abefore VAT was added was Rs 5000
