Question

when the vat rate is 15% of customer pays Rs1449 to by a watch find the cost of the watch without vat​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution given:

Vat=15%

Selling price with vat=Rs1449

Selling price with out vat=?

We have

Selling price with vat=Selling price without vat +Vat amount

Rs 1449=selling price without vat +vat % of selling price without vat

Rs1449=Selling price without vat(1+vat/%)

Selling price without vat=$\bold{\frac{Rs1449} {1+\frac{15}{100}}}$

Selling price without vat=$\bold{\frac{Rs1449}{1.15}}$

Selling price without vat=Rs1260

the cost of the watch without vat=Rs1260

Answer 2

Let cost be x

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow x+0.15x=1449$

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow 1.15x=1449$

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow x=\dfrac{1449}{1.15}$

$\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow x=1260$
