Let's go through each of the questions one by one and solve them perfectly.

### 1. A stationery item is listed at ₹195. A sales tax of 2% is added. What is the cost of the item to the customer?

We need to add a 2% sales tax to the listed price.

- **Listed Price** = ₹195
- **Sales Tax** = 2% of ₹195

\[
\text{Sales Tax} = \frac{2}{100} \times 195 = 3.90
\]

So, the total cost to the customer is:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = 195 + 3.90 = ₹198.90
\]

### 2. The following items are purchased from a hardware store:
   - Saw worth ₹495
   - Hammer worth ₹240
   - Letter box worth ₹200

   **What will be the total bill amount if the sales tax is 7%?**

First, calculate the total price before tax:

\[
\text{Total Price} = 495 + 240 + 200 = ₹935
\]

Now, calculate the sales tax:

\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 7\% \text{ of } 935 = \frac{7}{100} \times 935 = ₹65.45
\]

The total bill amount will be:

\[
\text{Total Bill} = 935 + 65.45 = ₹1000.45
\]

### 3. A table is sold at ₹4815 inclusive of 7% VAT. What is the cost of the table before VAT is added?

Let the cost of the table before VAT be \(x\). The VAT is 7% of this cost, and the total price is given as ₹4815. So:

\[
x + 7\% \text{ of } x = 4815
\]

\[
x + 0.07x = 4815
\]

\[
1.07x = 4815
\]

\[
x = \frac{4815}{1.07} = ₹4500
\]

So, the cost of the table before VAT is ₹4500.

### 4. A cloth merchant marked cloth at the cost of ₹75 per metre. If a customer buys 8 metres of cloth and also pays sales tax at the rate of 4%, how much does the customer pay in all?

First, calculate the cost of 8 metres of cloth:

\[
\text{Cost of 8 metres} = 75 \times 8 = ₹600
\]

Now, calculate the sales tax at 4%:

\[
\text{Sales Tax} = 4\% \text{ of } 600 = \frac{4}{100} \times 600 = ₹24
\]

So, the total amount the customer pays is:

\[
\text{Total Amount} = 600 + 24 = ₹624
\]

### 5. Rajesh purchases a cooler for ₹3780 inclusive of 8% VAT. What was the price of the cooler before VAT was added?

Let the price of the cooler before VAT be \(x\). The VAT is 8% of this price, and the total price is ₹3780. So:

\[
x + 8\% \text{ of } x = 3780
\]

\[
x + 0.08x = 3780
\]

\[
1.08x = 3780
\]

\[
x = \frac{3780}{1.08} = ₹3500
\]

So, the price of the cooler before VAT was added is ₹3500.
