1.	Tanvy bought a watch for ₹1980 including VAT at 10%. Find the original price of the watch.
Answer» We know that the VAT = 10% SP = ₹1980 So let’s consider the original price of watch as x ∴ VAT amount = 10% of x = x/10 ∴ x + x/10 = 1980 (10x + x)/10 = 1980 11x /10 = 1980 x = (1980 × 10) / 11 x = 1800 ∴ The original price of the watch excluding VAT is ₹1800

Tanvy bought a watch for ₹1980 including VAT at 10%. Find the original price of the watch.

Answer»

We know that the VAT = 10%

SP = ₹1980

So let’s consider the original price of watch as x

∴ VAT amount = 10% of x

= x/10

∴ x + x/10 = 1980

(10x + x)/10 = 1980

11x /10 = 1980

x = (1980 × 10) / 11

x = 1800

∴ The original price of the watch excluding VAT is ₹1800
