प्रश्न
An article was purchased for Rs. 1239, including GST of 18%. Find the price of the article before GST was added?
उत्तर
Price of item with GST = Rs.1239
Let the price of the item before GST = x
GST = 18%
Total price as per question
x + 18% of x = 1239
x + `(18x)/100` = 1239
`(118x)/100` = 1239
x = `(1239×100)/118`
x = 1050
Hence, price before GST = Rs.1050
