Question
The following items are purchased from showroom:
T-Shirt worth Rs 1200.
Jeans worth Rs 1000.
2 Skirts worth Rs 1350 each.
What will these items cost to Shikha if the sales tax is 7%?
Solution
Given, Cost of T-shirt = Rs 1200
Also, Cost of Jeans = Rs 1000
And Cost of Skirts = Rs 1350
Here, 2 skirts = 1350 + 1350 = 2700
We need to find out cost of items with sales tax
⇒ Total cost = 1200 + 1000 + 2700 = Rs 4900
⇒ Sikha have to pay sales tax = 7%
Now, we know that the Total Sales Tax = Cost × Sales Tax
⇒ Total Sales Tax = `(4900 xx 7)/100 = 343`
⇒ Now, The cost price with the sales tax Total Cost = Cost + Total Sales Tax.
⇒ Total cost = 4900 + 343 = Rs 5243
So, the total cost to be paid to sikha is Rs 5243
