Answer 2

Given:

The price of an article including 5% GST is Rs. 714. The price before tax is?

To find:

The price before tax is?

Solution:

Let's say Rs. "x" be the price of the article before applying tax.

The rate of GST = 5%

The price of the article including the GST = Rs. 714

Therefore, we can form the final equation as,

$Price \:after \:tax = [Price\:before\: tax ]\:+\: [GST\% \times (Price \:before\: tax)]$

$\implies 714 = x + \frac{5}{100}x$

$\implies 714 = [\frac{100 + 5}{100}] x$

$\implies 714 = [\frac{1 05}{100}] x$

$\implies x = 714 \times \frac{1 00}{105}$

$\implies \bold{x = 680}$

Thus, the price of the article before tax is → Rs. 680.
