While purchasing one item costing $R s .400$ , I had pay the sales tax at $7 %$ and on another costing $R s .6400$ , the sales tax was $9 %$ . What percent of the sales tax I had to pay, taking the two items together on an average?
$8 %$
$8 \frac{13}{17} %$
$8 \frac{1}{2} %$
$8 \frac{15}{17} %$

Total sales tax paid $= 7 %$ of $R s 400 + 9 %$ of $R s 6400$
$R s (\frac{7}{100} \times 400 + \frac{9}{100} \times 6400)$
$= R s 604$
Therefore,
Total cost of items $= R s (400 + 6400) = 6800$
Hence the required $% = (\frac{604}{6800} \times 100) %$
$= 8 \frac{15}{17} %$
