Vikram bought a watch for Rs 825. If this amount includes 10% VAT on the list price, what was the list price of the watch?

Solution

$\text { Let the list price of the watch be Rs . x } .$

$\text { Then, }$

$x + \frac{10}{100}x = 825$

$x + 0 . 1x = 825$

$1 . 1x = 825$

$x = \frac{825}{1 . 1}$

$=\text { Rs }. 750$

$\text { Thus, the list price of the watch is Rs } . 750 .$
