Question

Mohit bought a shirt for $Rs.1337.50$ Including $VAT$ at $7\%$ . Find the original price of the shirt.

Answer 1

Let $x$ be the original price of the shirt.

According to the question,

$x+7\%$ of $x=1337.50$

$\Rightarrow x+\frac{7x}{100}=1337.5$

$\Rightarrow \frac{107x}{100}=1337.5$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{1337.5\times 100}{107}$

$\Rightarrow x=Rs.1250$
