Answer 2

Given :

Cost price - Rs 13,500

GST - 8%

To find :

The original price.

Solution :

Consider the original price as - y

So,

GST on original price = 8y/100

According to the question ,

$\sf \implies y + \dfrac{8y}{100} = 13500$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{100y + 8y}{100} = 13500$

$\sf \implies \dfrac{108y}{100} = 13500$

$\sf \implies 108y = 13500 \times 100$

$\sf \implies y = \dfrac{1350000}{108}$

→ y = 12500

Hence,

Hence,The original price is Rs 12,500.
