Given: The price of a TV set inclusive of sales tax of 9% is $₹\ 13407$ and the sales tax is increases to $13$ %.

To do: To find how much more does the customer need to pay for the TV set.

Solution:

Total price paid for T.V. $=₹\ 13,407$ 

Rate of sales tax = 9%

Let sale price $=₹\ y$ 

According to question $Y+9$ % of $y=₹\ 13,407$

$\Rightarrow y+\frac{9y}{100}=13,407$

$\Rightarrow \frac{109y}{100}=13,407$

$\Rightarrow 109y=13,407\times100$

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{13,40700}{109}$

$\Rightarrow y=₹\ 12,300$

If the sales is increased by $13$ % then $13$ % of $12300=\frac{12300\times13}{100}=₹\ 1,599$

Increased price$=₹\ 12,300+₹\ 1,599=₹\ 13,899$

More money paid $=₹\ 13,899–₹\ 13,407=₹\ 492$
