Maya bought a TV for Rs 7980 including GST of 14%. What is the original cost of the TV without GST?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
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
