incl 10.68
so i'm not sure if the stuf he's bought to eat was taxable at a different rate or not so i'm just going with the 15% on the fuel at a tenner which is what he put in
so that would make it 8.61 without and 1.39 for the tax giving me a total of a tenner right?

Or you could just take your 10 and divide it by 1.15. Gives you the pre-vat total

I meant that the people dividing by 1.15 could then multiply their answer by 0.15 to get the VAT total Not just get the Cost of the item less VAT
ie
10 divide by 1.15 = 8.70
8.69 x 0.15 + 1.30
