Divid purchased a pair of shoes for Rs 441 including value added tax. If the sales price of the shoes is Rs 420, Find the rate of value added tax.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

VAT = Percentage of Purchase Price - Sale Price
Purchase Price - Sale Price`=441 - 420 = 21`
Percentage of `21` from `420`
`=(21/420) xx 100`
`=(1/20)xx 100`
`=100/20`
`=5`
Hence, the rate of VAT is 5%.
