Adam wants to buy a massage chair. The usual price of the massage chair is $1500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 15%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the massage chair in all?
Discount
= 15% x 1500
=
15100 x 1500
= $225
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1500 - 225
= $1275
GST
= 12% x 1275
=
12100 x 1275
= $153
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1275 + 153
= $1428
Answer(s): (a) $153; (b) $1428
