Solution
Sale price of biscuits = Rs 158
Rate of sales tax on biscuits= 6%
Amount paid for biscuits= Rs 158 + 6% of Rs 158
`= "Rs." 158 + 6/100 xx 158`
= Rs. 158 + "Rs." 9.48
= Rs. 167.48
The sale price of cosmetic goods = Rs. 354
Rate of sales tax= 9%
Amount paid for cosmetic goods = Rs 354 + 9% of Rs.354
`="Rs." 354 + 9/100 xx 354`
= Rs. 354 + Rs 31.86
= Rs. 385.86
Total amount paid by Sarita = Rs. 167.48 + Rs. 385.86
= Rs. 553.34
