Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $800.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 45%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 45% x 800
=
45100 x 800
= $360
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 800 - 360
= $440
GST
= 5% x 440
=
5100 x 440
= $22
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 440 + 22
= $462
Answer(s): (a) $22; (b) $462
