Question

Raman bought an air conditioner for Rs 21800 including VAT at 9% find the original price of air conditioner

Answer 1

Let the original price of the air conditioner be Rs. x
Then , the price including VAT = Rs. x + 9% of x
= Rs. 109x/100

But , price including VAT = Rs. 21800

Then ,
109x/100 = 21800
=> x = 21800×100/109
=> x = 200×100
.: x = 2000

Hence , the original price of the air conditioner is Rs. 2000

Answer 2

Answer:

Let original price be x

so

9%of x+x=21800

x=21800×100÷109

x=20000

So the original price was Rs.20000
