The price includes GST (Goods Service Tax) means that Bill Amount has Price + GST.

Let's Assume,

• The Original price of the television be ₹b

According to the Question :

• Tax Amount = GST% × Original Price
• Tax Amount = 18% × b
• Tax Amount = 18/100 × b
• Tax Amount = 18b/100

• Bill Amount = Orginal Price + Tax Amount
• 35400 = b + 18b/100
• 35400 = 100b + 18b/100
• 35400 = 118b/100
• 35400 × 100 = 118b
• 3540000 = 118b
• 3540000/118 = b
• ₹ 30000 = b

Therefore :

• The original cost of the television is Rs 30000
