Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $2500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 10%.
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
= 10% x 2500
=
10100 x 2500
= $250
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2500 - 250
= $2250
GST
= 8% x 2250
=
8100 x 2250
= $180
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 2250 + 180
= $2430
Answer(s): (a) $180; (b) $2430
