​

Answer 1

Given,

Purchasing price = Rs. 3520

GST rate = 28%

To find,

Price before adding GST and the amount of GST.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Let, the amount of GST = Rs. x

Price before GST = Rs. (3520-x)

According to the data mentioned in the question,

100 × x/(3520-x) = 28

100x = 98560-28x

128x = 98560

x = 770

GST amount = Rs. 770

Price before GST = 3520-770 = Rs. 2750

Hence, the GST amount is Rs. 770 and price before GST is Rs. 2750.
