Question

The selling price including VAT on a cooking range is ₹19610. What is the original price of the cooking range? The VAT is 6%.

Answer 1

Selling Price including VAT=19,610
VAT %=6%
Original Price=x
S.P=106 * x/100=19,610
Original price(x)=19,610*100/106=18,500

Answer 2

let the original price of the cooking range is x
and VAT is 6%
so x+6x/100=19610
or 106x/100=19610
or x=19610*100/106 =18500
so the original price is 18500 rs
