Question

Sunita bought a microwave ₹22400 and including Gst 12% find the original price of the microwave excluding Gst

Answer 1

first upon we have to find 12% of 22400

22400×12/100

224×12=2688

therefore,2688 is gst.

and total price will be

22400+2688= 25088

Answer 2

Let the original price be r rupees.

List price = r

GST = 12%

Selling price = 22400 rupees

Since,

SP = LP + GST on LP

22400 = r + 12 r/100

22400 = r + 3r/25

22400 = 28r/25

r = 22400 × 25/28

= 800 × 25

= 20000.

Thus, Original price of microwave is 20000 rupees
