Answer 1

Answer:

700

Step-by-step explanation:

given , the price of article is 784 included GST

let before GST price was X rupees

now ,

X + 12% of X = 784

X + ( 12 X / 100 ) = 784

X + 0.12 X = 784

1.12 X = 784

X = 784 / 1.12

X = 700

Answer 2

Answer:

1st method

Let original price of the article be Rs. 100.

GST = 12%

Price after GST is included = Rs. 100 + Rs. 12 = Rs. 112

When the selling price is Rs. 112 then original price = Rs. 100

When the selling price is Rs. 784, then original price =  

112 /100  ×784

=700

2nd method

let x be the original price of article

x+12%x=784

x+(12/100)x=784

(112/100)x=784

x=(784/112)*100

x=7*100=700

12%x=(12/100)*700=84
