Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $1500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 35%.
He needs to pay a GST of 4%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 35% x 1500
=
35100 x 1500
= $525
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1500 - 525
= $975
GST
= 4% x 975
=
4100 x 975
= $39
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 975 + 39
= $1014
Answer(s): (a) $39; (b) $1014
