Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is €9.31.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Total Amount paid by Jeremy = €58.31.

VAT = 19 %

We need to find the VAT amount paid by Jeremy.

Let the Actual amount of calculator be x

VAT Amount = $19\% \times x=\frac{19}{100}x=0.19x$

Hence Total amount will be equal to actual price plus VAT amount.

$x+0.19x=58.31\\1.19x=58.31\\x=\frac{58.31}{1.19} = 49$

Hence the Actual amount of calculator is €49.

Now VAT amount = $0.19x=0.19\times 49= 9.31$

Hence, the amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is €9.31.
