Question

An article was purchased for $Rs.1239$ including GST of $18\%$. Find the price of the article before GST was added

• A. Rs. $1050$
• B. Rs. $1100$
• C. Rs. $1150$
• D. Rs. $1200$

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. $1050$

Given:

$GST=18\%$

Now $118\%$ of $x=1239$

$\frac{118x}{100}=1239$

$x=\frac{123900}{118}$

$x=1050Rs$

The price of the article before GST was added $=1050Rs$
