Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $900.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 50% x 900
=
50100 x 900
= $450
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 900 - 450
= $450
GST
= 10% x 450
=
10100 x 450
= $45
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 450 + 45
= $495
Answer(s): (a) $45; (b) $495
