Question

if 8% GST is included in the prices find the original price of a t.v bought for ₹ 13500​

Answer 1

VAT added = 8%

(a) price including VAT = Rs.13,500

    Let the cost price of TV = Rs.100

    cost included VAT = 100+8 = Rs.108

When C.P including VAT is Rs.108, C.P = 100

When C.P including VAT is Rs.13500, C.P = 100/108*13500= Rs.12500

(b)price including VAT = Rs.180

    Let the cost price of TV = Rs.100

    cost included VAT = 100+8 = Rs.108

When C.P including VAT is Rs.108, C.P = 100

When C.P including VAT is Rs.180, C.P = 100/108*180= Rs.166.66

Answer 2

.....

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original price = rupees x

X + 8% of x=rupees 13500

x+8/100x=rupees 13500

X (100 + 8/100)=₹13500

X×108/100=₹13500

x=₹13500×100/108

x=125000

thus,the original price......rs 125000
