Adam wants to buy a tablet. The usual price of the tablet is $1200.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 35%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the tablet in all?
Discount
= 35% x 1200
=
35100 x 1200
= $420
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1200 - 420
= $780
GST
= 5% x 780
=
5100 x 780
= $39
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 780 + 39
= $819
Answer(s): (a) $39; (b) $819
