Question

Reena bought a mobile phone for 16,240 that included a GST of 12%. Find the price of the mobile phone before the GST was added.​

Answer 1

Answer: 14500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the mobile phone before the GST was added be represented by x.

Therefore,

x + (12% × x) = 16240

x + 0.12x = 16240

1.12x = 16240

x = 16240/1.12

x = 14500

The price of the mobile phone before the GST was added was 14500
