Adam wants to buy a massage chair. The usual price of the massage chair is $1800.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 7%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the massage chair in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1800
=
50100 x 1800
= $900
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1800 - 900
= $900
GST
= 7% x 900
=
7100 x 900
= $63
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 900 + 63
= $963
Answer(s): (a) $63; (b) $963
