Solution
The original price of a washing machine which was bought for Rs 13,500 inclusive of 8% VAT is Rs 12,500.
Explanation:
Let ₹ x be the original price of washing machine.
C.P. of machine = ₹ 13,500
VAT = 8%
`\implies "₹" 13,500 = "₹" (x + x xx 8/100)`
`\implies "₹" 13,500 = "₹" (27x)/25`
`\implies 13,500 xx 25/27 = x`
`\implies` x = 12,500
Thus, the original price of washing machine is ₹ 12,500.
