I purchased a hair dryer for rupees 5400 including 8% VAT find the price before VAT was added
Given:
The price of a hairdryer including $8 \%$ VAT is $Rs.\ 5400$.
To do:
We have to find the price before VAT was added.
Solution:
Let the basic price of the hairdryer be $x$.
This implies,
$5400=x+\frac{8}{100}x$
$5400=x(\frac{108}{100}$
$x=\frac{5400\times25}{27}$
$x=200\times25$
$x=5000$
The price of the hairdryer before VAT was added is Rs. 5000.
