Question

gaurav bought a shirt for Rs.1296 including GST . if the original price of the shirt is Rs.1200,find the rate of GST.​

Answer 1

$\huge\bf\underline{Answer}$

The rate of G.S.T is 8% respectively.

Solution:-

Given,

Selling price of the shirt = Rs. 1296

Cost price of the shirt = Rs. 1200

Hence, the amount of GST or profit => (S.P - C.P) = Rs.(1296 - 1200) = Rs.96

Therefore, the rate of G.S.T = P/C.P × 100

$= (\dfrac{96}{1200} \times 100)\%$

$= ( \dfrac{9600}{1200} )\%$

$= 8\%$

Hence, The rate of G.S.T is 8%

Verification:-

Cost price = Rs. 1200

Selling price = Cost price + G.S.T

= Rs.(1200 + 8% of 1200)

$= Rs.(1200 + \dfrac{8}{100} \times 1200)$

$= Rs.(1200 + 96)$

$= Rs. \: 1296$

Hence, Proved.

Answer 2

Answer

G.S.T = 8%

$\rule{200}{2}$

$\mathfrak{\large{\underline{\underline{\blue{Explanation}}}}}$

Given :-

Selling price of shirt (S.P) = 1296 Rs

Cost price of shirt (C.P) = 1200 Rs

So,

Amount of G.S.T or Profit = S.P - C.P

» (1296-1200)

» (96)

» 96 Rs.

$\rule{200}{2}$

Rate of G. S. T = Profit / C.P × 100%

» (96/1200 × 100 )%

» (9600/1200)%

» 8%

$\rule{200}{2}$
