Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the original cost of these spare parts? Let the original cost of the spare parts be Rs x. Hence, the original cost of the spare parts is Rs 18,550.

Answer 2

The original price of car parts is Rs. 18550.

Given - Total price

Find - Original price

Solution - To find the original price of car, add price of VAT to the assumed original price. Let the original price of car parts be Rs. x. The VAT price will be represented as - 12%*x.

x + 12%*x = 20776

$x + \frac{12}{100} x = 20776$

Representing fraction in decimal form

$x + 0.12x = 20776$

Performing addition to find the value of x

$1.12x = 20776$

$x = \frac{20776}{1.12}$

Performing Division to find the value of x

x = 18550

Hence, the original price of the car parts is Rs. 18550.
