Adam wants to buy a projector. The usual price of the projector is $2500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the projector in all?
Discount
= 50% x 2500
=
50100 x 2500
= $1250
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2500 - 1250
= $1250
GST
= 12% x 1250
=
12100 x 1250
= $150
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 1250 + 150
= $1400
Answer(s): (a) $150; (b) $1400
