Answer:
The price before vat is 1,425
Step-by-step explanation:
I. When total price = price + vate*price
So 1,539 = x + 0.08 + x => when 0.08 is 8/100 or 8 percent
1,539 = 1.08x
x = 1,539/1.08
x = 1,425
II. Prove by replace x.value with 1,425
1,539 = 1,425 + 0.08(1,425)
1,539 = 1,425 + 114
1,539 = 1539 true
Hope that help :)
