A businessman imported Laptops, worth Rs 210000, Mobile phones worth Rs 100000 and Television sets worth Rs 150000.

He had to pay 10% tax on laptops, 8% on Phones and 5% on Television sets as a special case.

So,

Total tax he had to pay

= 210000 × 0.1 + 100000 × 0.08 + 150000 × 0.05

= 21000 + 8000 + 7500

= Rs. 36500
