Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$Gst \: rate = 28$%

$Gst =\frac{28}{100}=\frac{7}{25}$

$If \: the \: original \: price \: of \: a \: toaster \: is \: 25Rs. then \: after \: including \: GST \: of \: 7Rs , the \: price \: become \: 32Rs.$

$But \: in \: question , the \: including \: GST. \: price \: is \: 2560Rs.$

$Means ,\frac{2560}{32}=80 times$

$Then , the \: original \: price \: of \: this \: toaster \: will \: be \: 80 \: times.$

$The \: original \: price=25×80=2000Rs$

Answer 2

sp of toaster =2560

tax= 28%

orginal price = sp/100-tax * 100

= 2560/100+28 * 100

256000/128

= 2000

so the orginal price of toaster is RS 2000

hope it helps
