Question

seema bought a refrigerator for 14300 including VAT of 10% .find the price of the refrigerator before VAT was added​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rs. 13000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of refrigerator be x.

A.T.Q,

=> price of refrigerator + VAT (Price of refri * 10%) = 14300

=> x + (x*10/100) = 14300

=> x ( 1 + 10/100) = 14300 [taking X common]

=> x [ (100 + 10)/100 ] =14300

=> x [ 110/100 ] = 14300

=> x = 14300 * 100 /110 [ bringing 110/100 on the other side]

=> x = 13000

Answer 2

Answer:

Inclusion of 10% VAT means that if the original price is ₹ 100 , then the price including VAT is ₹ 110 . Thus when price including VAT is ₹ 110 , original price is ₹ 100.

When price including Vat is ₹ 14300 , orginal price is ₹ 100/110 × 14300 = 13000.
