Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $1500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 6%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1500
=
50100 x 1500
= $750
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1500 - 750
= $750
GST
= 6% x 750
=
6100 x 750
= $45
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 750 + 45
= $795
Answer(s): (a) $45; (b) $795
