Adam wants to buy a laptop. The usual price of the laptop is $1800.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 40%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the laptop in all?
Discount
= 40% x 1800
=
40100 x 1800
= $720
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1800 - 720
= $1080
GST
= 5% x 1080
=
5100 x 1080
= $54
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1080 + 54
= $1134
Answer(s): (a) $54; (b) $1134
