Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $1050.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 8%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1050
=
50100 x 1050
= $525
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1050 - 525
= $525
GST
= 8% x 525
=
8100 x 525
= $42
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 525 + 42
= $567
Answer(s): (a) $42; (b) $567
