Answer 1

Answer:

2560×28/100

25.6×28 =716.8 rs of gst

then the price with gst is

2560 + 716.8 = 3276.8

then with include gst price is 2560.

now price of radio after reduction is

2560 - 716.8

1843.20 rs.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE COST PRICE INCLUSIVE OF 28% OF GST BE RUPEES x

THEREFORE,

x + 28/100 * x = 2560

= x + 7x/25 = 2560

= 25x + 7x/25 = 2560

= 32x/25 = 2560

= 32x = 2560 * 25

= 32x = 64000

= x = 64000/32 = 2000

THEREFORE

REDUCTION NEEDED IN THE PRICE = 2560 – 2000

= Rupees 560 IS THE CORRECT ANSWER
