Adam wants to buy a stereo system. The usual price of the stereo system is $600.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 10%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the stereo system in all?
Discount
= 10% x 600
=
10100 x 600
= $60
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 600 - 60
= $540
GST
= 10% x 540
=
10100 x 540
= $54
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the stereo system in all
= 540 + 54
= $594
Answer(s): (a) $54; (b) $594
