Answer:
The amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is €9.31.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Total Amount paid by Jeremy = €58.31.
VAT = 19 %
We need to find the VAT amount paid by Jeremy.
Let the Actual amount of calculator be x
VAT Amount = [tex]19\% \times x=\frac{19}{100}x=0.19x[/tex]
Hence Total amount will be equal to actual price plus VAT amount.
[tex]x+0.19x=58.31\\1.19x=58.31\\x=\frac{58.31}{1.19} = 49[/tex]
Hence the Actual amount of calculator is €49.
Now VAT amount = [tex]0.19x=0.19\times 49= 9.31[/tex]
Hence, the amount of VAT paid by Jeremy is €9.31.
