Question

Rajeeta purchased a set of cosmetics. She paid Rs. 165 for it including VAT. If the rate of VAT is 10%, find the sale price of the set.

Answer 1

Given,

Rate of VAT = 10%

Cost of set = Rs.165

Let sale price of set = Rs.x

= \(x+\frac{10x}{100}\) = 165

= \(\frac{11x}{10}\) = 165

= x = \(\frac{165\times 10}{11}\) = Rs. 150

Hence,

Sale price of set = Rs.150
