Solution and Explanation
Let the initial price of the article before including GST be denoted by x.
The price of the article including GST is given by the formula: Price of article including GST=Rs.1239
GST (Goods and Service Tax) is 18% of x, expressed as \(\frac{18×x}{100}=0.18×x.\)
Therefore, the equation representing the relationship between the price before GST (x) and the price after including GST is: x+(0.18×x)=1239
Solving for 1.18x=1239
Thus, the initial price before including GST (x) is:
\(x=\frac{1239}{1.18}=\) Rs. 1050
Hence, the price of the article before GST was added is Rs. 1050.
