  1. 1 tie costing Rs. 250 with ST @ 6%
  2. Medicines costing Rs. 625 with ST @ 4%
  3. Cosmetics costing Rs. 430 with ST @ 10%
  4. Clothes costing Rs 1175 with ST @ 8% Calculate the total amount to be paid by Reena.

Answer

  1. Cost of the tie = Rs. 250
Sales tax = 6% of Rs. 250

$=\text{Rs. }(250\times\frac{6}{100})=\text{Rs. }15$

Hence, bill amount = Rs. (250 + 15) = Rs. 265
  1. Cost of the medicines = Rs. 625
Sales tax = 4% of Rs. 625

$=\text{Rs. }(625\times\frac{4}{100})=\text{Rs. }25$

Hence, bill amount = Rs. (625 + 25) = Rs. 650
  1. Cost of the cosmetics = Rs. 430
Sales tax = 10% of Rs. 430

$=\text{Rs. }(430\times\frac{10}{100})=\text{Rs. }43$

Hence, bill amount = Rs. (430 + 43) = Rs. 473
  1. Cost of clothes = Rs. 1175
Sales tax = 8% of Rs. 1175

$=\text{Rs. }(1175\times\frac{8}{100})=\text{Rs. }93$

Hence, bill amount = Rs. (1175 + 94) = Rs. 1269

Therefore, total amount to be paid by Reena = bill amount of all the four items.

= Rs. (265 + 650 + 473 + 1269) = Rs. 2657
