When the VAT rate is 10% a costumer pays Rs 2816 to buy a mobile set. Find the cost of mobile without VAT.

Answer 1

Answer:

Question: 1

The list price of a refrigerator is Rs.9700. If a value-added tax of 6% is to be charged on it, how much one has to pay to buy the refrigerator?

Solution:

List price of the refrigerator = Rs. 9700

VAT = 6%

So, VAT = 6% of Rs.9700

= (6/100) × 9700

= Rs. 582

So, the total amount one has to pay is (Rs. 9700 + Rs.582) = Rs.10282

The total amount one has to pay is Rs. 10282.

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost of mobile without VAT = Rs. 2560

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

VAT rate = 10%

costumer paid to buy mobile = Rs 2816

Find :

The cost of mobile without VAT

Solution :

Let the list price of mobile = x

⇒ x + (10x /100) = 2816

⇒ x + 0.1x = 2816

⇒ x + 0.1x = 2816

⇒ 1.1x = 2816

⇒ x = 2816 / 1.1

⇒ x = 2560

The answer is 2560

Therefore,

The cost of mobile without VAT = Rs. 2560
