Answer 1

Hey Pretty Stranger!

$\large \bold \red{Here \: you \: go! \: }$

Let the price of dress before GST was added be x

Now,

Cost Price + G.S.T = Ra 5400

$\sf \: x + 12\% \: of \: x = 5400$

$\sf \: x + \dfrac{12}{100} x = 5400$

$\sf \: \dfrac{112x}{100} = 5400$

$\sf \: x = \dfrac{5400 \times 100}{112}$

$\sf \: x = \cancel \dfrac{540000}{112}$

$\sf \: x = \boxed{ \sf \: Rs \: 4821.42}$

Answer 2

Answer:

✫Price of dress was Rs 4821.42 before GST✫

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Cost Price of dress = Rs 5400
• GST on dress = 12%

To Find:

• Price of dress before GST was added

Solution: Let the price of dress before GST was added be Rs x

According to the question

→ x + 12% of x = Rs 5400

→ x + 12/100 of x = 5400

→ x + 12x/100 = 5400

→ 112x/100 = 5400

→ x = 5400 x 100 / 112

→ x = 4821.42

Hence, The price of dress before GST was added was Rs 4821.42
