Question

Reena bought a table lamp for Rs 5600 (including GST 12%). Find the price of the lamp before the GST was added.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the price of the lamp before the GST was added. =₹5000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the lamp before the GST was added. = X

$x + ( \frac{12}{100} \times x) = 5600 \\ x + \frac{12x}{100} = 5600 \\ x + \frac{3}{25} x = 5600 \\ \frac{28}{25} x = 5600 \\ x = 5600 \times \frac{25}{28} \\ x = 5000$
