Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Question-

An article was purchased for Rs.1239 including GST of 18%. Find the price before adding GST.

Answer-

Given that the price of an article including GST of 18% is Rs. 1239

Let the price of the article before GST be x

Therefore, x+18% of x = 1239

⇒ x + $\frac{18x}{100}$ = 1239

⇒ $\frac{100x+18x}{100}$ = 1239

⇒ 118x = 1239×100

⇒ x = $\frac{1239×100}{118}$

⇒ x = 1050

Therefore, the price of the article before GST is Rs. 1050

Answer:

This

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer-

Given that the price of an article including GST of 18% is Rs. 1239

Let the price of the article before GST be x

Therefore, x+18% of x = 1239

⇒ x + \frac{18x}{100}

100

18x

= 1239

⇒ \frac{100x+18x}{100}

100

100x+18x

= 1239

⇒ 118x = 1239×100

⇒ x = \frac{1239×100}{118}

118

1239×100

⇒ x = 1050

Therefore, the price of the article before GST is Rs. 1050
