Question

Shipra purchased a shampoo bottle for Rs.180 including 8% VAT. Find the price before VAT was added

Answer 1

let original price =x

therefore . price including VAT = rupees x + 8% of x .

= Rs [1+8/100] x = Rs 108/100x

But the original price + VAT = Rs 180

therefore , 108/100 x = Rs 180

or x = Rs 180×100/108

= Rs 500/3

Rs 166 2/3.

thus , the original price = Rs 166 2/3 .

I hope this help u ☺️
