Solution

Let cost price and rate of sales tax on an article be $x$ and $r %$ respectively.

Then total price to be paid is equal to $x (1 + \frac{r}{100})$

$Price for computer = 38000 \times 1.07 = R s .40, 660$

$Price for printer = 8000 \times 1.07 = R s .8, 560$

$Total Amount paid = 40, 660 + 8, 560 = R s .49, 220$
