==============================

Rehana purchased a dress for rupee 5,400 including 8% vat

=> selling price was 5400 including 8% vat

so it a profit for the shopkeeper

so we have to find the cost price 

=> lets recall a formula

=> cost price = $\frac{s.p *100}{100 +profit}$

                      =$\frac{5400*100}{108}$

                     = 50 *100

                       = 5000 rs

∴cost price is 5000 rs without vat%

===========================
