​

Answer 1

Answer: Rs. 3,911.21

Given:

• Final Cost = Rs. 4185
• GST = 7%

To Find:

• Initial Cost before adding GST

Solution:

Let the cost of the table before GST be Rs. x.

Final Cost of Table = Initial Cost + GST

⇒ Final Cost = Rs. x + 7% of Rs. x

⇒ Rs. 4185 = Rs. x + Rs. 0.07x

⇒ Rs. 4185 = Rs. 1.07x

⇒ Rs. x = Rs. 4185 / 1.07

⇒ Rs. x = Rs. 3911.21

Hence the Cost of the table, before adding GST was Rs. 3,911.21
