Question

For a dealer A , the list price of an article is rupees 9000 , which he sells to a dealer B at some lower price . Further, dealer B sells the same article to a customer at its list price . If the rate of GST is 18% and dealer B paid a tax, under GST , equal to rupees 324 to the government , find the amount (inclusive of GST) paid by dealer B.​

Answer 1

• Suppose the C.P. of an Article for Dealer B = Rs 'x'
• S.P. of an Article for Dealer B = Rs 9000
• Total GST Paid to the government = Rs 324 GST on S.P. - GST on C.P.=Rs.324
• 18% of Rs 9000 - 18% of Rs x = Rs 324

$\frac{18}{100} (9000 - x) = ₹324$

$9000 - x = 324 \times \frac{100}{18} = 1800$

$x = 9000 - 1800$

$= 7200$
