For the first question, the correct answer is (c) $\$ 33.84$.<br /><br />To calculate the total cost of the shirt, we need to add the VAT to the marked price. The VAT is calculated as $6\%$ of the marked price, which is $\$ 30$. So, the VAT is $0.06 \times \$ 30 = \$ to the marked price, we get $\$ 30 + \$ 1.80 = \$ 33.84$.<br /><br />For the second question, the correct answer is (a) $\$ 1,800$.<br /><br />To find the VAT exclusive price of the novel, we need to divide the inclusive price by $1 + \frac{16}{100}$. So, the VAT exclusive price is $\frac{\$ 2,088}{1.16} = \$ 1,800$.
