Mohit bought a shirt for Rs. 1337.50 including VAT at 7%. Find the original price of the shirt.

VAT = 7%


Selling Price = Rs.1337.50


Let × be the original price of watch.


VAT Amount = 7% of x


=7x/100


× + 7x/100 = 1337.50


107x/100 = 1337.50


X= (1337.50 × 100) / 107


= Rs.1250


So, Original Price of Shirt excluding VAT is Rs.1250.
