Answer:
RS 146189.8
Step-by-step explanation:
let the price before tax be p
hence the final amount paid (i.e the actual bill)
= price before tax + tax
= p + (0.13% of p) (convert percentage into fraction)
= p + [ (0.13/100) x p] ---------------(eq 1)
we are given that the tax (i.e VAT) = 189.80
hence,
[ (0.13/100) x p] = 189.8
0.13p = (100)(189.8)
p = (100)(189.8) / 0.13
p = 146000
hence our eq 1 above becomes:
p + [ (0.13/100) x p]
= 146000 + 189.8
= 146189.8
