Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $1500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 40%.
He needs to pay a GST of 4%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 40% x 1500
=
40100 x 1500
= $600
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1500 - 600
= $900
GST
= 4% x 900
=
4100 x 900
= $36
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 900 + 36
= $936
Answer(s): (a) $36; (b) $936
