Solution

The cost price (CP) of the dining table $= R s . 3200$
Now, the dining table sold at a gain of $6 %$ .
So, selling price (SP) of the dining table $= \frac{100 + Profit %}{100} \times C P$
$= \frac{100 + 6}{100} \times 3200$
$= 106 \times 32$
$= R s .3392$
Also, customer pay sale tax $= 5 %$
$∴$ Selling price with sales tax $= 3392 + 5 %$ of SP
$= 3392 + 3392 \times \frac{5}{100}$
$= 3392 + 169.6$
$= R s . 3561.60$
