Adam wants to buy a computer. The usual price of the computer is $1700.
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 computer in all?
Discount
= 10% x 1700
=
10100 x 1700
= $170
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1700 - 170
= $1530
GST
= 10% x 1530
=
10100 x 1530
= $153
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the computer in all
= 1530 + 153
= $1683
Answer(s): (a) $153; (b) $1683
