Correct option is A)
Price of confectionery goods including Sales Tax =Rs. 165+6% of Rs. 165
=165+
100
6
×165
=Rs. 174.90
Price of tooth-paste, shaving-cream, soap, etc., including Sales Tax =Rs. 230+10%of Rs. 230
=230+
100
10
×230
=Rs. 253
∴ Total amount to be paid by Mrs. Sharma =Rs. 174.90+ Rs. 253=Rs. 427.90
Since Mrs. Sharma gave a five-hundred rupee note to the shopkeeper, the money that the shopkeeper will return to Mrs. Sharma =Rs. 500−Rs. 427.90=Rs. 72.10
