A device costs 1200 euros without VAT. VAT is 19 %. What is the price including VAT?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. 1428 euros
- Step 1: VAT = 19 % of 1200 = 228 euros. Step 2. 1200 + 228 = 1428 euros. Answer: 1428 euros. Why not the others: 972 euros: VAT was subtracted instead of added. 1219 euros: 19 euros were added instead of 19 percent. 1222.8 euros: the VAT rate was taken as 1.9 %.
