Adam wants to buy a hi-fi system. The usual price of the hi-fi system is $1150.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the hi-fi system in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1150
=
50100 x 1150
= $575
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1150 - 575
= $575
GST
= 12% x 575
=
12100 x 575
= $69
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 575 + 69
= $644
Answer(s): (a) $69; (b) $644
