Adam wants to buy a laptop. The usual price of the laptop is $1500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 3%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the laptop in all?
Discount
= 20% x 1500
=
20100 x 1500
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1500 - 300
= $1200
GST
= 3% x 1200
=
3100 x 1200
= $36
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1200 + 36
= $1236
Answer(s): (a) $36; (b) $1236
