salim bought an article for Rs.784 which include GST of 12 percent. what is the price of the article before GST was added

Answer 1

Let price of the article before GST = X

X + 12%X = 784

1.12 X = 784

X = Rs.700

Answer 2

Answer:

Rupees 700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original price of the article be 100, GST = 12%

Price after GST is included

$= (100 + 12) = 112$

When the selling price is 112 then original price =100

When the selling price is 784,then the original price

$= \frac{100}{12} \times 784 = 700$
