Question:

Maya bought a TV for Rs 7980 including GST of 14%. What is the original cost of the TV without GST?

Options:

Rs 7000

Rs 8880

Rs 7080

Rs 7900

Correct Answer:

Rs 7000

Explanation:

Let the original cost be Rs x,

Total cost of the TV = Original Cost + GST

⇒ 7980 = x + 14% of x

⇒ 7980 = 114% of x

⇒ $\frac{114}{100}$ x = 7980

⇒ x = 7000

Thus, the original cost of the TV is Rs 7000
