Question

tavin bought a watch for Rs.1980 including VAT at 10%.Find the original price of watch

Answer 1

Hey, sup!

Selling price including vat = 1980Rs.
Vat=10%.
Let the selling price excluding vat be x.
So selling price include vat=
=x(1+10/100)=110x/100.

So, 110x/100=1980.
110x=(1980*100)=198000.
Therefore x=198000/110.
= 1800Rs.

Original price or selling price excluding vat is 1800Rs.

Hope it helps.
