Niharika bought one item for Rs. 600 and another for Rs. 9000. She paid a 5% sales tax on the first item and 12.5% sales tax on the second item. How much percentage tax approximately did she pay on an average if the two items are taken together? Correct Answer 12%

According to the question,

Tax paid for first item = 600 × (5/100) = Rs.30

Tax paid for second item = 9000 × (12.5/100) = Rs. 1125

Total tax paid = 30 + 1125 = Rs. 1155

Total cost of the items = Rs. 600 + Rs. 9000 = Rs. 9600

Required average percentage = (1155/9600) × 100 = 12.03% ≈ 12%

Hence, she paid 12% tax on an average if the two items are taken together.
