Jules buys a washing machine. 20 percent VAT is added to the price of the washing machine. Jules then has to pay a total of £600. What is the price of the washing machine with no VAT added
my question is how is the final price affected by the vat added. usually you have to subtract the vat to get to the final price. here they have used algebraic notation instead. can u do this in an exam?
x+0.2x=600
1.2x=600
x=600/1.2=
x=£500​
