Adam wants to buy a massage chair. The usual price of the massage chair is $600.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 2%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the massage chair in all?
Discount
= 50% x 600
=
50100 x 600
= $300
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 600 - 300
= $300
GST
= 2% x 300
=
2100 x 300
= $6
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 300 + 6
= $306
Answer(s): (a) $6; (b) $306
