"Table World" is quoting a better price

Step-by-step explanation:

The shop "Table World" is quoting a price of 140 inclusive of 17.5% VAT

that means 140 is the final price a customer needs to pay.

While other shop"Tables R us" is quoting a price of 120 without VAT

so we need to add VAT in the price to find out the final price

                                           price+VAT on the price

                                          =120+120*(17.5/100)

                                          =120+120*0.175

                                          =120+21

               so final price      =141

so comparatively "Table World" is quoting a better price
