Question

I purchased a hair dryer for ₹ 1239 including GST of 18%. Find the price of the article before GST was added ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey Friend!

Here's your answer:-

Price of a article = Rs 1239

GST = 18%

Let the price of article before GST = x

GST = 18x / 100

x + 18x / 100 = 1239

100+18x = 1239×100

118x = 123900

x = 123900/118

= Rs 1050

So, The price of article before GST is Rs 1050.

hope it helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Price after 8% vat=5400

If the initial price=x

vat=8%

Final price = x + 100

8x

= x( 100, 108).

Given:-

100

108x = 5400

⇒x = 108.

5400 × 100 = 5000

∴ The price of hair dryer before VAT was added = 5000Rs.
