Question

Mohi went to a shop and bought a shirt of ₹1680 including 12%GST. The shopkeeper did not give receipt to him.find the amount of GST not paid by the shopkeeper to the government..

Answer 1

Hi,

Here's the solution :-

According to question,

The shopkeeper didn't have to pay a certain amount of GST to government.

This shows that price of clothes was actually increased.

Let the money of the clothes without GST be x.

So,

x + 12% of x = Rs.1680

=> x(1 + 12/100) = Rs.1680

=> x(28/25) = Rs.1680

=> x = Rs.1680 x 25/28 = Rs.1500

So,

Amount of GST =

12% of x

= Rs.1680 - x

= Rs.1680 - Rs.1500

= Rs. 180


I hope that it is clear ^_^

Answer 2

Selling price including GST = ₹1680

Find the percentage of the selling price:

GST = 12%

Selling Price = 100 + 12 = 112%

Find the GST:

Selling price = 112%

Selling price = ₹1680

112% = ₹1680

1% = 1680 ÷ 112 = ₹15

12% = 15 x 12 = ₹180

Answer: The GST was ₹180
