Question

A bag cost 850. The seller gives you a discount of 10% before adding 10% VAT. How much will you be paying for the bag?

Answer 1

To calculate the final price you will be paying for the bag after discount and VAT, follow these steps:

1. **Calculate the discount amount**:
- The bag costs 850.
- The discount is 10%, so you calculate:
\[
\text{Discount} = 850 \times 0.10 = 85
\]

2. **Subtract the discount from the original price**:
\[
\text{Price after discount} = 850 - 85 = 765
\]

3. **Calculate the VAT on the discounted price**:
- VAT is 10% of the discounted price:
\[
\text{VAT} = 765 \times 0.10 = 76.5
\]

4. **Add the VAT to the discounted price**:
\[
\text{Final Price} = 765 + 76.5 = 841.5
\]

So, you will be paying **841.5** for the bag.
