4. Try:
Actual Price: ₱1,956.00
VAT: ? Selling Price: ?
Solution:

₱1,956.00 + ₱234.72 = ₱2,190.72
VAT: ₱234.72
Selling Price: ₱2,190.72

5. Example:
Actual Price: ?
VAT: ₱1,092.72
Selling Price: ₱10,198.72

₱10,198.72 ̶ ₱1,092.72 = ₱9,106.00
Actual Price: ₱9,106.00

6. Try:
Actual Price: ?
VAT: ₱1,506.00
Selling Price: ₱14,006.00
