Question

An article was purchased for 7 1239 including GST of 18%. Find the price of the
article before GST was added?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately Rs. 60,372

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the article be sold by the shopkeeper at

Rs. x

GST = 18% of x

$= \frac{18}{100} x$

$= \frac{9}{50} x$

Therefore price of the article will be

Rs. x + 9x/50

$= \frac{59x}{50}$

According to the question,

$\frac{59x}{50} = 71239$

$or \: x = 71239 \times \frac{50}{59}$

$so \: x = 60372.03$
