1. Mohit went to a shop and bought a shirt of ₹ 1,680 including 12% GST. The shopkeeper did not give him a receipt.
(i) Find the amount of GST not paid by the shopkeeper to the Government.
Solution
\[ \begin{aligned} \text{CP of shirt before GST} &= x \\ \text{GST } \% &= 10\% \\ \\ CP + GST \% &= 1680 \\[6pt] x + 12 \% \text{ of } x & = 1680 \\[6pt] x + \frac{12}{100}x & = 1680 \\[6pt] \frac{112}{100}x & = 1680 \\[6pt] x & = \cancel{1680}^{150} \times \frac{100}{\cancel{112}_1} \\[6pt]x & = 1500 \\[8pt] CP & = \text{₹}\,1500 \\[8pt] \color{green}\text{GST amount} &= 1680 - 1500 \\ &= \text{₹}\,180 \end{aligned} \]
Answer GST not paid by the shopkeeper to the Government \(=\ \color{red}{\text{₹}\,180}\)
