Adam wants to buy a tablet. The usual price of the tablet is $2000.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 5%.
He needs to pay a GST of 2%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the tablet in all?
Discount
= 5% x 2000
=
5100 x 2000
= $100
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2000 - 100
= $1900
GST
= 2% x 1900
=
2100 x 1900
= $38
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 1900 + 38
= $1938
Answer(s): (a) $38; (b) $1938
