Adam wants to buy a tablet. The usual price of the tablet is $600.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 15%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the tablet in all?
Discount
= 15% x 600
=
15100 x 600
= $90
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 600 - 90
= $510
GST
= 10% x 510
=
10100 x 510
= $51
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 510 + 51
= $561
Answer(s): (a) $51; (b) $561
