Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $2300.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 20% x 2300
=
20100 x 2300
= $460
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2300 - 460
= $1840
GST
= 5% x 1840
=
5100 x 1840
= $92
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1840 + 92
= $1932
Answer(s): (a) $92; (b) $1932
