Rajat goes to a departmental store and buys the following articles:
| Item | Price per item | Rate of VAT |
| 2 Pairs of shoes 1Sewing machine 2 Tea-sets |
Rs 800 Rs 1500 Rs 650 |
5% 6% 4% |
Calculate the total amount he has to pay to the store.
Solution
\[\text { Given, } \]
\[\text { CP of 2 pair of shoes = Rs . } 800 \times 2 = Rs . 1600\]
\[\text { Rate of VAT = 5 % } \]
\[\text { So, VAT = 5 % of Rs . 1600 } = \frac{5}{100} \times 1600 = Rs . 80 . \]
\[\text { Therefore, the amount Rajat needs to pay for 2 pair of shoes = Rs } . \left( 1600 + 80 \right) = Rs . 1680\]
\[\text { Again, } \]
\[\text { CP of 1 sewing machine = Rs } . 1500\]
\[\text { Rate of VAT = 6 % } \]
\[\text { So, VAT = 6 % of Rs . } 1500 = \frac{6}{100} \times 1500 = Rs . 90 . \]
\[\text { Therefore, the amount Rajat needs to pay for 1 sewing machine = Rs }. \left( 1500 + 90 \right) = Rs . 1590\]
\[\text { Given }, \]
\[\text { CP of 2 tea - sets = Rs } . 650 \times 2 = Rs . 1300\]
\[\text { Rate of VAT = 4 % } \]
\[\text { So, VAT = 4 % of Rs .} 1300 = \frac{4}{100} \times 1300 = Rs . 52\]
\[\text { Therefore, the amount Rajat needs to pay for 2 tea - sets = Rs } . \left( 1300 + 52 \right) = Rs . 1352\]
\[\text { Thus, the total amount Rajat needs to pay = Rs } . \left( 1680 + 1590 + 1352 \right) = Rs . 4622\]
