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.

Answer 1

\[\text { Given, } \]

\[\text { CP of 2 pair of shoes = Rs . } 800 \times 2 = Rs . 1600\]

\[\text { Rate of VAT = 5 % } \]

\[\text { So, VAT = 5 % of Rs . 1600 } = \frac{5}{100} \times 1600 = Rs . 80 . \]

\[\text { Therefore, the amount Rajat needs to pay for 2 pair of shoes = Rs } . \left( 1600 + 80 \right) = Rs . 1680\]

\[\text { Again, } \]

\[\text { CP of 1 sewing machine = Rs } . 1500\]

\[\text { Rate of VAT = 6 % } \]

\[\text { So, VAT = 6 % of Rs . } 1500 = \frac{6}{100} \times 1500 = Rs . 90 . \]

\[\text { Therefore, the amount Rajat needs to pay for 1 sewing machine = Rs  }. \left( 1500 + 90 \right) = Rs . 1590\]

\[\text { Given }, \]

\[\text { CP of 2 tea - sets = Rs } . 650 \times 2 = Rs . 1300\]

\[\text { Rate of VAT = 4 % } \]

\[\text { So, VAT = 4 % of Rs .} 1300 = \frac{4}{100} \times 1300 = Rs . 52\]

\[\text { Therefore, the amount Rajat needs to pay for 2 tea - sets = Rs } . \left( 1300 + 52 \right) = Rs . 1352\]

\[\text { Thus, the total amount Rajat needs to pay = Rs } . \left( 1680 + 1590 + 1352 \right) = Rs . 4622\]
