Q. The price of a T.V. set inclusive of VAT is Rs 1353013530 . The rate of VAT is 10%10\%. Find its basic price.
  1. Denote Basic Price: Let's denote the basic price of the T.V. set as PP. The rate of VAT is 10%10\%, which means that the VAT amount is 10%10\% of the basic price. The price of the T.V. set inclusive of VAT is Rs 1353013530. We can express this relationship with the following equation:\newlinePrice with VAT = Basic Price + VAT amount\newline13530=P+(10% of P)13530 = P + (10\% \text{ of } P)
  2. Find Basic Price: To find the basic price PP, we need to solve the equation for PP. We can express 10%10\% as 0.100.10, so the equation becomes:\newline13530=P+(0.10×P)13530 = P + (0.10 \times P)\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline13530=P×(1+0.10)13530 = P \times (1 + 0.10)\newline13530=P×1.1013530 = P \times 1.10
  3. Solve Equation: Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 1.101.10 to solve for PP: \newlineP=135301.10P = \frac{13530}{1.10}
  4. Divide and Solve: Performing the division gives us the basic price of the T.V. set: P=12300P = 12300
