Answer:

$\large{ \boxed{ \underline{ \rm{Amount \: = \: Rs. \: 787.5}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

• C.P. (Cost price) of shoes at a shop is Rs. 750.

• Sales tax charged is 5%

To Find :

• The bill amount [S.P. (selling price)]

Solution :

Sales tax is

• 5% of Rs. 750

So, calculating for sales tax,

→ 5/100 × 750

→ Rs. 37.5

• Therefore, sales tax is Rs. 37.5.

According to the Question,

We'll be calculating the bill amount,

• For finding out the bill amount, simply we have to add both the values of sales tax & cost price of shoes, i.e.

• Rs. 750 + Rs. 37.5

→ Amount = Cost price + sales tax

→ Amount = Rs. 750 + Rs. 37.5

→ Amount = Rs. 787.5

⠀⠀⠀______________

Therefore, the bill amount of the pair of shoes at shop is Rs. 787.5.
