Answer:
(i) a towel of 350 buying price = 75
(ii) Two bars of soap at 35 each buying price = 73.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) sales tax on towel = (50/100)*50
=25
buying price = 50+25 =75
2) cost of two bars = 35+ 35 = 70
sales tax on soaps = (5/100)*70
= 70/20
=7/2
=3.5
buying price = 70+ 3.5
= 73.5
