Adam wants to buy a laptop. The usual price of the laptop is $1250.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the laptop in all?
Discount
= 20% x 1250
=
20100 x 1250
= $250
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1250 - 250
= $1000
GST
= 12% x 1000
=
12100 x 1000
= $120
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 1000 + 120
= $1120
Answer(s): (a) $120; (b) $1120
