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

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Rs. 7000.

Cost price of the TV = Rs. 7980

GST = 14%

Original cost of the TV without GST = Cost price of the TV × 100/(100 + GST%)

= 7980 × (100/114)

= Rs 7000
