Question

the price of an article is Rs 5400 including 8% VAT find the price before VAT was added

Answer 1

The price before VAT added is RS.4968

Answer 2

Let the price of article before VAT was added be x
Therefore, x + 8% of x = 5400

--> x + 8x / 100 =5400

--> 100x +8x = 5400 * 100

--> 108x = 5400 * 100

--> x = 5400*100/108

--> x = 5000

Therefore, price of the article before tax was included is Rs. 5000
