Question 2.
A person buys electronic goods worth Rs. 10,000 for which the sales tax is 4% and other material worth Rs. 15,000 for which the sales tax is 6%. He manufactures a gadget using all these and sells it at 15% profit, what is his selling price?
Price of the electronic goods is Rs. 10,000 and tax is 4%
∴ Tax =$$\frac { 4 }{ 100 }$$ × 10,000 = Rs.400
Total cost = 10,000 + 400 = Rs. 10,400
Price of the other material is 15,000 and tax is 6%.
∴ Tax = $$\frac { 6 }{ 100 }$$ × 15,000 = Rs.900
Total cost = 15,000 + 900 = Rs. 15,900
Total cost price of the electronic gadget prepared by him is (10400 + 15900) = 26300
Profit percent = 15%

selling price = Rs. 30,245
