Question

girish buys an article for Rs 357 inclusive of 15% discount and GST of 5% find the Marked price of the article​

Answer 1

The Marked price of the article is Rs 400.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Girish buys an article for Rs 357 inclusive of 15% discount and GST of 5%.

Let the marked price of article be Rs x.

Now, as we know that cost price is less than the marked price, that means;

Cost Price of article =  Marked Price - Discount rate on Marked price

                                 =  $x$ - 15% of $x$

                                 =  $x(1-0.15)$

                                 =  $0.85 x$

So, Cost price of article = Rs $\frac{85x}{100}$ .

Now, as we know that GST is applicable on the cost price of article and it will increase the price, that is;

Cost Price of article =  Cost Price + 5% GST on Cost price

          357  =  $\frac{85x}{100}(1 + 0.05)$

          357  =  $\frac{85x}{100} \times 1.05$

          357  =  $\frac{357x}{4 \times 100}$  

             $x$  =  $\frac{357 \times 400}{357}$  = Rs 400.

Hence, the marked price of article is Rs 400.
