Question

Fi find the original price of a washing machine which was brought for rupees 13,500 inclusive of 8% GST

Answer 1

let actual price be A,

then

108% of A = 13500,


108/100 × A =13500,


then


A = 13500 × 100/108,


A = 12500

Answer 2

Let the price of washing machine before GST was added = Rs 100
Now, C.P.+GST= Rs 13500
x + 8% of x= rs 13500
x+8x/100 = rs 13500
100x+8x/100 =rs 13500
108x/100 =rs 13500
x =13500*100÷108
x= 125*100
x= 12500
Hence the price of washing machine before inclusive of GST is Rs 12500
