Rakesh goes to a departmental store and purchases the following articles: biscuits and bakery products costing Rs 50, VAT @ 5%. medicines costing Rs 90, VAT @ 10%, clothes costing Rs 400. VAT @ 1% , and cosmetics costing Rs 150, VAT @ 10%. Calculate the total amount to paid by RAkesh to the store.

Explanation

(i) biscuits and bakery products costing Rs `50`, VAT `5%`.
So,
`=>`CP `=` Rs.`50`
`=>`VAT `= 5%`
`=>`SP `=` {CP `xx (100 +`VAT`%)}/100``= {50 xx (100 + 5)}/100 = (50 xx 105)/100 =` Rs.`52.5`.
(ii) medicines costing Rs `90`, VAT `10%`.
So,
`=>`CP `=` Rs.`90`
`=>`VAT `=` `10%` .
`=>`SP `=` {CP `xx (100 +` VAT`%)}/100 = {90` `xx (100 + 10)}/100 = (90 xx 110)/100 =`Rs.`99` .
(iii) clothes costing Rs `400`, VAT `1%` .
So,
`=>`CP `=` Rs.`400`
`=>`VAT `= 1%` .
`=>` SP `=` {CP xx `(100 +` VAT`%)}/100 = {400 xx (100 + 1)}/100 = (400 xx 101)/100 =` Rs.`404` .
(iv) cosmetics costing Rs `150`, VAT ` 10%`.
So,
`=>`CP `=` Rs.`150`
`=>`VAT `= 10%` .
`=>`SP = {CP `xx (100 +` VAT`%)}/100 = {150 xx (100 + 10)}/100 = (150 xx 110)/100 =` Rs.`165` .
Therefore,
The total amount to be paid by Rakesh to the store `= 52.5 + 99 + 404 + 165 =` Rs.`720.5`
