Adam wants to buy a tablet. The usual price of the tablet is $1400.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 25%.
He needs to pay a GST of 8%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the tablet in all?
Discount
= 25% x 1400
=
25100 x 1400
= $350
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1400 - 350
= $1050
GST
= 8% x 1050
=
8100 x 1050
= $84
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 1050 + 84
= $1134
Answer(s): (a) $84; (b) $1134
