Question

Salim bought an article for ₹ 784 which included GST of 12%. What is the price of the article before GST was added?​

Answer 1

Answer:

700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price before GST be 'x'.

Included GST = 12%.

= 12% of x

= 12x/100

Now,

Price of article with GST = x + (12x/100)

                                        = (112x/100)

He bought article for 784.

⇒ (112x/100) = 784

⇒ 112x = 78400

⇒ x = 700

Therefore,

Price of article before GST = 700.

Hope it helps!
