Best answer
let actual price be`= p`
VAT is `5%`of p
`= p xx5/100 = p/20`
total bill=`p + p/20 = (21p)/20`
`1450 = (21p)/20`
`p = ( 20 xx 1450)/21= 1380`
discount=`(1380 xx 8)/100`
`= 110.4 rs`
new price=`1380-110.4=1269.4 rs`
new bill=`1269.4 + 1269.4 xx 5/100`
`= 1269.4(1 + 5/100)`
`= 1269.4 xx 21/20 = 1338.6 rs`
