Adam wants to buy a printer. The usual price of the printer is $1000.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 35%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the printer in all?
Discount
= 35% x 1000
=
35100 x 1000
= $350
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1000 - 350
= $650
GST
= 10% x 650
=
10100 x 650
= $65
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 650 + 65
= $715
Answer(s): (a) $65; (b) $715
