Answer:
R 257.85 is the price after 15% VAT.
Explanation:
price of the item after putting vat: 100% + 14% = 114%
114% → 227.87
1% → [tex]\frac{227.87}{114}[/tex]
100% is always the original price.
100% → [tex]\frac{227.87}{114}[/tex] * 100
100% → R 199.89
The original price was R 199.89
The VAT was again increased to 15%: 114% + 15% → 129%
129% → 129 * [tex]\frac{227.87}{114}[/tex]
129% → R 257.85
The price after 15% VAT put is R 257.85.
