In the given question we are told that a shopkeeper in lechnow sold a water cooler to a consumer for 16 ,400 rupees.
00:10
So we can write the selling price of the water cooler is 16 ,400 rupees.
00:23
Now we are told that there is a gst which is the gross sales tax.
00:30
And it is told to be 12 percentage.
00:34
So we are asked what is the gst paid by the consumer while buying this water cooler from the shopkeeper.
00:41
So we should know that before tax, before tax let the price of the cooler.
00:55
Let the price of the water cooler be x right so if that is so we can write x plus 12 percentage of x is what gave us the final selling price of 16 ,400 right and what we what the customer paid as tax is this part of this equation.
01:28
So this is the gst that is paid by the customer.
01:32
So now we can write x plus 12 percentage of x can be found by taking 12 by 100 times x.
01:39
So this is equal to 16 ,400.
01:43
So 12 by 100 times x is equal to 0 .12 .12 times x...
