Adam wants to buy a printer. The usual price of the printer is $1400.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 11%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the printer in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1400
=
50100 x 1400
= $700
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1400 - 700
= $700
GST
= 11% x 700
=
11100 x 700
= $77
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 700 + 77
= $777
Answer(s): (a) $77; (b) $777
