Adam wants to buy a tablet. The usual price of the tablet is $1600.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the tablet in all?
Discount
= 20% x 1600
=
20100 x 1600
= $320
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1600 - 320
= $1280
GST
= 5% x 1280
=
5100 x 1280
= $64
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 1280 + 64
= $1344
Answer(s): (a) $64; (b) $1344
