. Tom purchased a cupboard for Rs 24,800 including GST , if cost price of cupboard is Rs 21,600 .Find out how much GST (in%) has been paid​

Answer 1

$\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}$

Given that,

Tom purchased a cupboard for Rs 24,800 including GST , if cost price of cupboard is Rs 21,600.

Selling Price of a cupboard including GST = Rs 24, 800

Cost Price of cupboard = Rs 21600

Let assume that rate of GST % = x %

We know,

$\rm \: \boxed{ \rm{ \:GST \: \% \: = \: \dfrac{Selling \: Price - Cost \: Price}{Cost \: Price} \times 100\% \: }}$

So, on substituting the values, we get

$\rm \: GST \: \%\: = \dfrac{24800 - 21600}{21600} \times 100 \: \%$

$\rm \: GST \: \%\: = \dfrac{3200}{216} \: \%$

$\rm \: GST \: \%\: = 14.81 \: \%$

Hence,

$\rm\implies \:GST \: \% \: = \: 14.81 \: \% \: \: \{approx. \}$

PROVIDED INFORMATION :-

QUESTION :-

• Tom purchased a cupboard for Rs 24,800 including GST , if cost price of cupboard is Rs 21,600 .Find out how much GST (in%) has been paid

TO FIND :-

• Find out how much GST (in%) has been paid = ?

SOLUTION :-

Price of insecticides (including GST)

= Rs 24,800

• Original price = 21,600

Total GST = 24,800 - 21,600 = 3,200

Let GST percentage be 'x'

Now,

x% of 21,600 = 3,200

x /100 × 21,600 = 216 ,00

x = 216

then, we have to divide 3200 with 216 :-

GST= 3200 /216

we get the answer :-

= 14.81 %

GST (in%) has been paid = 14.81 %
