Adam wants to buy a stereo system. The usual price of the stereo system is $1750.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 10%.
He needs to pay a GST of 4%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the stereo system in all?
Discount
= 10% x 1750
=
10100 x 1750
= $175
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1750 - 175
= $1575
GST
= 4% x 1575
=
4100 x 1575
= $63
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the stereo system in all
= 1575 + 63
= $1638
Answer(s): (a) $63; (b) $1638
