    Salim bought an article for ₹784 which included GST of 12%. What was the price of the article before GST was added?

    A.

    ₹700

    B.

    ₹650

    C.

    ₹550

    D.

    ₹600

    Correct option is A

    Given:

    Price including GST = ₹784

    GST rate = 12%

    Formula Used:

    Gross Price = Base Price×(1+GST%100)\text{Base Price} \times \left(1 + \frac{\text{GST\%}}{100}\right)​​

    Solution:

    Base Price =7841+12100=7841.12 \frac{784}{1 + \frac{12}{100}} = \frac{784}{1.12}​ = ₹700
