Question

amina bought an air cooler for a AED 3300 including VAT of 5% find the price of the air cooler before VAT was added

Answer 1

3142.86

Explanation:

let the original price be 100%

Then the cost with 5% VAT is 105%

Divide the cost by 105 to find 1% and multiply by 100 for original cost

original cost =
`(3300)/(105)` × 100 = 3142.86
