If original amount is x, then 15511 is x plus 18% of x. Can you make an equation and solve it?If I have value of let say 15511 including 18% tax. Then how can I know the original value without that 18% tax?
Thanks for help.
What is the FIND of the question ? " the original value (price) before tax. That is the unknown we need to find.If I have value of let say 15511 including 18% tax. Then how can I know the original value without that 18% tax?
Thanks for help.
We can help - but without any work shown, I cannot under stand why the responses #2 or #3 was not sufficient to solve your problem.Actually I need to I have received two amounts without any tax payments, and I need to calculate tax. So I need to find base value, it will be great if someone can help
In my opinion, your problem is not mathematics - your problem is reading comprehension.Sorry I'm not good at maths, can you exactly show math for figure 15511?
Once I know then I can apply that same method for other figures. Thanks!!
Tax paid = 0.18 * p
Total price paid including tax = p + 0.18 * p = 1.18 * p
Please tell us why you are interested in solving this type of problem.If I have value of let say 15511 including 18% tax. Then how can I know the original value without that 18% tax?
Thanks for help.
Let's try something.I tried to calculate the P value, but unable to do get to that point. I need to simply find base value of P (15511) which is inclusive of 15% tax.
Then I stongly recommend you hire a bookkeeper to do the arithmetic for you!It's a problem I need to solve for my startup business, I've received two amounts and I need to calculate base value of P. So that I can add base value in my invoicing software, then 18% will be added on that.
My maths experience is very less, yes, I've studied algebra long-time back
I really want to learn about this, as it's real-life situation.
Yes. Being able to do it yourself would be much more profitable.Thanks for the suggestion, but having them for just 2 mistake amounts doesn't seem to be profitable
[imath]1.18P=15511[/imath] now [imath]P=\dfrac{15511}{1.18}=1280.5084745762711[/imath]If I have value of let say 15511 including 18% tax. Then how can I know the original value without that 18% tax?
Let me know if anyone can tell or suggest, thanks a lot. I need to keep looking & solve this!
