Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $2000.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 35%.
He needs to pay a GST of 11%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 35% x 2000
=
35100 x 2000
= $700
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2000 - 700
= $1300
GST
= 11% x 1300
=
11100 x 1300
= $143
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1300 + 143
= $1443
Answer(s): (a) $143; (b) $1443
