Question

an article was purchased for rs.1239 including GST of 18%.find the price of the article before GST was added .full solution with statements

Answer 1

Cost with gst included = rupees 1239, Cost with out gst = x rupees, 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 rupees.
