An article was purchased for ₹1239 including GST of 18%.Find the price of the article for GST was added.

Answer 1

Find the percentage with GST:

100 + 18 = 118%

Find 1%:

118% = Rs 1239

1% = 1239 ÷ 118 = Rs 10.50

Find 100% (Price before GST):

1% = Rs 10.50

100% = 10.50 x 100 = Rs 1050

Answer: The price before GST is Rs 1050

Answer 2

Answer:

Given,

GST = 18%

Cost with GST included = Rs. 1239

Cost without GST = x Rs

$x + ( \frac{18}{100} \times x) = 1239$

cost before GST+ GST = cost with GST

$x + ( \frac{9x}{50}) = 1239$

x = 1050

Price before GST = 1050 rupees
