Solution

(i) Formula for bill amount is cost `(1 + ("GST"%)/100)`

Medicine: bill amount is `800(1 + 5/100)`

= `800 xx 105/100`

= 840

(ii) Formula for bill amount is cost `(1 + ("GST"%)/100)`

Cosmetics: Bill amount is `550(1+ 12/100)`

= `650 xx 112/100`

= 728

(iii) Formula for bill amount is cost `(1 + ("GST"%)/100)`

Cereals: Bill amount is `900(1 + 0/100)`

= 900

(iv) Formula for bill amount is cost `(1 + ("GST"%)/100)`

Sunglass: Bill amount is `1750(1 + 18/100)`

= `1750 xx 118/100`

= 2065

(v) Formula for bill amount is cost `(1 + ("GST"%)/100)`

Air Conditioner: Bill amount is `28500(1 + 28/100)` = `28500 xx 128/100`

= 36480

∴ Total Bill amount = 840 + 728 + 900 + 2065 + 36480

= ₹ 41,013
