Answer:

The price of the article before GST was added is ₹ 1050.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Cost price of the article including GST = ₹1239.
• GST on it = 18%

Need to find:

• The price of the article before GST was added.

Explanation:

Let the original price be ₹x

GST on it = 18% of x

=> 18/100×x

=> 9x/50

Therefore,

Amount = 9x/50+x

=> 9x+50x/50

=> 59x/50

According to question,

59x/50 = 1239

x = 1239×50/59

=> ₹ 1050

Hence,the price of the article before GST was added is ₹ 1050.

Answer 2

$\huge \underline \mathbb {SOLUTION:-}$

AnsWer:

• Price before GST= Rs.1050

Given:

• An article was purchased for ₹1239 including GST of 18%.

Need To Find:

• The price of the article before GST was added = ?

Explanation:

According to the given question:

Cost with GST included = Rs.1239

Cost with out GST = Rs.x

GSt = 18%

If we take this into equation:

• x + ( (18/100) × x) = 1239

Cost before GST + GSt = cost with GST

↦x + (9x/50) = 1239

↦(50x + 9x/50) = 1239

↦59x/50 = 1239

↦59x = 1239 × 50

↦59x = 61950

↦x = 61950/59

↦x = 1050

• Hence, the Price before GST= Rs.1050
