A seller charges 28% more from a customer as GST on an article. If customer paid Rs. 4544, what is the cost price of the article?

Rs. 3550
Rs. 2650
Rs. 3840
Rs. 2450

Correct Answer: Rs. 3550

Then from given data,

$P + \frac{28 P}{100} = 4544 = > 128 P = 454400 = > P = 3550$

Hence, the cost price of the article = P = Rs. 3550
