Adam wants to buy a projector. The usual price of the projector is $2200.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the projector in all?
Discount
= 50% x 2200
=
50100 x 2200
= $1100
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2200 - 1100
= $1100
GST
= 5% x 1100
=
5100 x 1100
= $55
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 1100 + 55
= $1155
Answer(s): (a) $55; (b) $1155
