Answer 2

Answer:

Original price of the Saree = 800 Rs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Selling price of a saree = Rs. 864

        the included VAT = 8%  

here we need to find original price of the Saree

let x be the cost price

VAT on x =  $\frac{8}{100} (x)$  = $\frac{2x}{25}$  

the selling price = x + $\frac{2x}{25}$  = $\frac{25x+ 2x}{25} = 864$  

                                         = 25x + 2x = 21600

                                         = 27x  = 21600

                                         = x = 800 Rs.

Original price of the Saree = 800 Rs.
