Best answer

Given,

Cost of radio = Rs.2568

Rate of VAT = 7%

Let the reduced price, excluding VAT of the radio = Rs.x

= VAT = 7 % of Rs. x = Rs. \(\frac{7x}{100}\)

Hence,

Selling price of radio = Rs. \(x+\frac{7x}{100}\) = \(\frac{107x}{100}\)

Selling price = Rs.2568… Given

So,

\(\frac{107x}{100}\) = 2568

= x = \(\frac{2568\times 100}{107}\) = Rs. 2400

Reduction needed in price of radio = Rs.( 2568 – 2400) = Rs.168
