If VAT is included in the price, find the original price of each of the following.

(i) Bill amount of diamond = Rs. 10100

VAT = 1%


Original price = Bill amount - VAT


= 10100 - 1% of 10100





∴ The original price of diamond is Rs. 9999


(ii) Bill amount of pressure cooker = Rs. 2940


VAT = 5%


Original price = Bill amount - VAT


= 2940 - 5% of 2940





∴ The original price of pressure cooker is Rs. 2793


(iii) Bill amount of face powder = Rs. 229


VAT = 14.5%


Original price = Bill amount - VAT


= 229 – 14.5% of 229
