Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $1650.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 20% x 1650
=
20100 x 1650
= $330
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1650 - 330
= $1320
GST
= 5% x 1320
=
5100 x 1320
= $66
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1320 + 66
= $1386
Answer(s): (a) $66; (b) $1386
