Question

The price of the motorbike is rs.32400 including VAT of 8% .What is the price of the bike before adding the VAT

Answer 1

8%of 32400= 2592
So price excluding VAT= 32400-2592=29808

Answer 2

Heya friend,

Let the price of the motorbike be ₹x before the VAT was added. Then,

according to question,

x + 8 % of x = 32,400

=> x + 8/100 × x = 32,400

=> x + 2/25 × x = 32,400

=> x + 2x/25 = 32,400

=> 25x + 2x/25 = 32,400

=> 27x/25 = 32,400

=> x = 32,400 × 25/27

=> x = 30,000

Hence, the price of the bike is ₹30,000 before the VAT was added.
