Question

11. An article was purchased for 3 1239 including GST of 18%. Find the price of the
article before GST was added?


please include steps​

Answer 1

Cost with GST included = ₹1239
Cost without GST = ₹ x
GST = 18%
If we take this into equation = x+[(18 /100)*x] =1239
Cost before GST+GST = cost with GST
X + (9x/50) = 1239
(50x + 9x) / 50 = 1239
59x / 50 = 1239
59x = 1239 * 50
59x = 61950
X= 61950 / 59
X = 1050
Price before GST = ₹ 1050
