Adam wants to buy a hi-fi system. The usual price of the hi-fi system is $2150.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 4%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the hi-fi system in all?
Discount
= 50% x 2150
=
50100 x 2150
= $1075
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2150 - 1075
= $1075
GST
= 4% x 1075
=
4100 x 1075
= $43
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 1075 + 43
= $1118
Answer(s): (a) $43; (b) $1118
