Adam wants to buy a hi-fi system. The usual price of the hi-fi system is $1300.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the hi-fi system in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1300
=
50100 x 1300
= $650
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1300 - 650
= $650
GST
= 10% x 650
=
10100 x 650
= $65
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 650 + 65
= $715
Answer(s): (a) $65; (b) $715
