Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 11%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 20% x 500
=
20100 x 500
= $100
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 500 - 100
= $400
GST
= 11% x 400
=
11100 x 400
= $44
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 400 + 44
= $444
Answer(s): (a) $44; (b) $444
