Question

Rajesh bought an A.C. for $38500$ including $10\%$ VAT. Find the price of A.C. before VAT was added.

Answer 1

Given that VAT $=10\%$

Let price before VAT was added be $x$

So,

$(100+10)\%\times x=38,500$

$110\%\times x=38,500$

$\frac{110x}{100}=38,500$

$x=\frac{38,500\times 100}{110}$

$x=35,000\text{Rs}$

The price of A.C. before VAT was added $=35000\text{Rs}$
