Answer 1

$\text{Cost of six bottles of apple cider}$

$=6\times 90=₹540$

$\text{Cost of three shirts}$

$=3\times 560=₹1680$

$\text{Total cost of items purchased}=540+1680$

$=₹2220$

Amount of rebate received

= Total cost of items purchased - Actual amount paid

$=₹2220-₹1953.60$

$=₹266.40$

Let rate of rebate provided be x.

$\Rightarrow$ x% of ₹2220 = ₹266.40

$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{x}{100}\times 2220=266.40$

$\Rightarrow$ $x=\frac{266.40\times 100}{2220}=12$

Therefore, government had provided 12% rebate on these products.
