Answer 2

$\textbf{Question:}$

Ms. Chawla goes to a shop to buy a leather coat which costs 885 (list price). The rate of GST is 18%. She tells the shopkeeper to reduce the price to such an extent that she has to pay 885, inclusive of GST. Find the reduction needed in the price?

$\sf \colorbox{skyblue} {Answer:}$

Let the Reduced Price of the leather coat be

$= x$

$⇒\text{Amount of GST on} \: ₹x = 18\% \: \text{of} \: \: ₹x = ₹ \frac{18}{100} x$

∴The Amount to be paid by Ms. Chawla for the Coat

$= ₹x + ₹ \frac{18}{100} x = ₹ \left( 1 + \frac{18}{100} \right) \]x = ₹ \frac{59}{50} x$

$\text{Amount to Given} \: \frac{59}{50} x = 885$

$⇒x = \frac{50}{59} \times 885 = 50 \times 15 = 750$

$\text{∴The Reduced Price of the leather coat} = ₹750$

Hence, the Reduced needed in the price of Coat

$⇒ ₹885 - ₹750 = ₹135$
