Answer: Rs 45878

Solution:

Given,
Cost Price (CP) = Rs 35000
Profit Percentage (P) = 16%
VAT Percentage (VAT) = 13%

To find: SP with VAT = ?

Let us represent Selling Price with SP then,

We know,

SP = CP (1 + \frac{P}{100})

Also,

SP with VAT = SP (1 + \frac{VAT}{100} )


From above two formulae, we have,

SP with VAT = CP (1 + \frac{P}{100} )( 1 + \frac{VAT}{100} )

= CP ( 1 + \frac{16}{100}) ( 1+ \frac{13}{100} )

= CP × \dfrac{116}{100} × \dfrac{113}{100}

= 35000 × \dfrac{116 × 113}{100 × 100}

= Rs 45878

Hence, the customer paid Rs 45878 for the electric bicycle with 13% VAT.
