Question

An article was purchased for ₹ 5824 including GST of 12 %. Find the price of the artice before GST was added?​

Answer 1

Answer:

5125.12 rupees

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question it is asked to find the amount of article without  12%G S T

data is given as follows

Article price including 12 % G ST =5824

we need to find the amount without adding G S T

so first we find the 12 % of 5824

$=rate \times GST /100$

putting the original value

$=5824\times 12 \div 100\\=698.88$

this id the G S T amount

now we required the amount without G S T

so we subtracts actual amount to G S T amount

$5824 -698.88\\=5125.12 ruppes$

so the price of the article before added G S T is 5125.12 rupees

Answer 2

Answer:

If an article was purchased for ₹ 5824 including GST of 12 %, then the price of the article before GST was added is Rs 5200. ​

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the price of an article including GST of 12% is Rs.5824

Let the price of the article before GST be x

Therefore, x + 12% of x = 5824

⟹x+ 12x/100 =5824

⟹ (100x+12x)/100 =5824

⟹112x=5824×100

⟹x= (582400)/112 =5200

Therefore the price of the article before GST is Rs.5200
