Question

Mahesh purchases one shirt of rupees 784 with GST. If GST is 12%, then find

the price of shirt without GST.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let original price of the shirt be Rs. 100.

GST = 12%

Price after GST is included = Rs. 100 + Rs. 12 = Rs. 112

When the selling price is Rs. 112 then original price = Rs. 100

When the selling price is Rs. 784, then original price = 100/112*784=700

Answer 2

Given - Selling price and GST

Find - Price without GST

Solution - Let the price without GST be x.

So, selling price = price without GST + GST

784 = x + 12%*x

784 = x + 12x/100

Taking LCM on RHS, we get 100

784 = (100x + 12x)/100

784 = 112x/100

Performing multiplication to find the value of x

112x = 784*100

112x = 78400

Performing division to find the value of x

x = 78400/112

x = 700

Therefore, the price of shirt without GST is Rupees 700.
