Answer 1

Given

Mahesh purchases one shirt for rupees 784 with GST. If GST is 12%,

To find

the price of shirt without GST

Solution

Let the price is 100

given 12% is GST

=> 100 + 12 = 112

price of the shirt is given with GST is Rs 784

So, if 112 % = 784

100 % =?

=> (100 x 784). 112

=> 78400 / 112

=> 700

Hence, the price of the shirt without GST is Rs 700

Answer 2

CP with GST = 784

GST = 12%

Without GST = x

12/100×x+x=784

12/100x+x=784

(12x+100x)100=784

112/100x=784

112x=78400

=700

So, the price of shirt without GST = Rs. 700
