Adam wants to buy a massage chair. The usual price of the massage chair is $2000.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 30%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the massage chair in all?
Discount
= 30% x 2000
=
30100 x 2000
= $600
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2000 - 600
= $1400
GST
= 12% x 1400
=
12100 x 1400
= $168
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1400 + 168
= $1568
Answer(s): (a) $168; (b) $1568
