Cost with gst included = rupees 1239 

Cost with out gst = x rupees

gst = 18% 

If we take this into equation - 

x + ( ( 18 ÷ 100 ) × x ) = 1239 

cost before gst + gst = cost with gst 

x + ( 9x ÷ 50 ) = 1239

( 50x + 9x ) ÷ 50 = 1239 

59x ÷ 50 = 1239 

59x = 1239 × 50 

59x = 61950 

x = 61950 ÷ 59 

x = 1050 

Price before GST = 1050 rupees
