Question

The price of a book including 8% VAT is ₹810. The price of a book is ₹_______

Answer 1

Answer:

8% Vat = x

8/100×Price of book including Tax

8/100×810=64.8

x=64.8

810-x=Price of book

810-64.8=745.2

Answer 2

Answer:

₹750

Step-by-step explanation:

given

vat is 8 percent

let the original price of the book be =x

original price+vat= new price

x+8%of original price=new price

x+$\frac{8}{100}$x=810

using lcm on lhs

$\frac{108x}{100\\}$=810

transposing 100 to rhs

108x=81000

x=$\frac{81000}{108\\}$

x=₹750

so original price is ₹750
