Adam wants to buy a tablet. The usual price of the tablet is $700.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 25%.
He needs to pay a GST of 4%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the tablet in all?
Discount
= 25% x 700
=
25100 x 700
= $175
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 700 - 175
= $525
GST
= 4% x 525
=
4100 x 525
= $21
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 525 + 21
= $546
Answer(s): (a) $21; (b) $546
