Lucky bought a gas cooker and a rice cooker from a shop.the marked price of the gas cooker is 300 cedis and that of the rice cooker is 160cedis . If NHIL is charged at 2.5% on the value of each item. How much money will the government receive from the item bought?
The NHIL charged on the gas cooker is 2.5/100 * 300 = <<2.5/100*300=7.5>>7.5 cedis.
The NHIL charged on the rice cooker is 2.5/100 * 160 = <<2.5/100*160=4>>4 cedis.
Therefore, the government will receive a total of 7.5 + 4 = <<7.5+4=11.5>>11.5 cedis. Answer: \boxed{11.5}.
