Calculate the total amount he has to pay to the store.

Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} Given, \\ \mathrm{CP}\mathrm{of}2\mathrm{pair}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{shoes}=\mathrm{Rs}.800\times 2=\mathrm{Rs}.1600 \\ \mathrm{Rate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{VAT}=5\% \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{VAT}=5\%\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Rs}.1600=\frac{5}{100}\times 1600=\mathrm{Rs}.80. \\ Therefore,the\mathrm{amount}Rajatneedsto\mathrm{pa}y\mathrm{for}2\mathrm{pair}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{shoes}=\mathrm{Rs}.\left(1600+80\right)=\mathrm{Rs}.1680 \\ Again, \\ \mathrm{CP}\mathrm{of}1\mathrm{sewing}\mathrm{machine}=\mathrm{Rs}.1500 \\ \mathrm{Rate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{VAT}=6\% \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{VAT}=6\%\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Rs}.1500=\frac{6}{100}\times 1500=\mathrm{Rs}.90. \\ Therefore,the\mathrm{amount}Rajatneedsto\mathrm{pa}y\mathrm{for}1\mathrm{sewing}\mathrm{machine}=\mathrm{Rs}.\left(1500+90\right)=\mathrm{Rs}.1590 \\ Given, \\ \mathrm{CP}\mathrm{of}2tea-\mathrm{sets}=\mathrm{Rs}.650\times 2=\mathrm{Rs}.1300 \\ \mathrm{Rate}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{VAT}=4\% \\ \mathrm{So},\mathrm{VAT}=4\%\mathrm{of}\mathrm{Rs}.1300=\frac{4}{100}\times 1300=\mathrm{Rs}.52 \\ Therefore,the\mathrm{amount}Rajatneedsto\mathrm{pa}y\mathrm{for}2t\mathrm{ea}-\mathrm{sets}=\mathrm{Rs}.\left(1300+52\right)=\mathrm{Rs}.1352 \\ \mathrm{Thus},the\mathrm{total}\mathrm{amount}Rajatneeds\mathrm{to}\mathrm{pay}=\mathrm{Rs}.\left(1680+1590+1352\right)=\mathrm{Rs}.4622 \end{gathered}$$
