Question 20 Exercise 8.2
Answer:
Solution:
C.P. = Rs.5,400 and Rate of VAT = 8%
Let C.P. without VAT is Rs. 100, then price including VAT = 100 + 8 = Rs.108
\because When price including VAT is Rs.108, then original price = Rs.100
\therefore When price including VAT is Rs.1, then original price = \frac{100}{108}
\therefore When price including VAT is Rs.5400, then original price = \frac{100}{108}\times5400=Rs.\ 5000

Solution:
Price of a hairdryer with VAT = ₹ 5400
VAT% = 8%
Let the initial price of the hairdryer be ₹ x
Price of hairdryer with VAT is ₹ 5400
VAT % = 8%
VAT = 8% of the initial price of hairdryer
So, the initial price of hairdryer + VAT = 5400
x + 8% × x = 5400
x + (8x/100) = 5400
(108x/100) = 5400
x = 5400 × (100/108)
x = ₹ 5000
