Question

Find the original price of the table if the bill amount is ₹2200 and the VAT imposed on it is 10%.

• A. ₹ 2000
• B. ₹ 1500
• C. ₹ 1800
• D. ₹ 2100

Answer 1

The correct option is A ₹ 2000

Given that the bill amount of table = ₹ 2200 and vat charged is 10%.

Let the price of table be ₹x.

Then,
VAT paid = 10% of ₹x
VAT paid = $\frac{10}{100}$ $\times x$
VAT paid = ₹0.1x

Therefore,
Bill amount = cost of table + VAT paid
$\Rightarrow$ ₹ 2200 = ₹ (x + 0.1x )
$\Rightarrow$₹ 1.1x = ₹ 2200
x = $\frac{2200}{1.1}$
x = ₹ 2000

Hence, the cost of the table is ₹ 2000.
