Adam wants to buy a mobile phone. The usual price of the mobile phone is $1300.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 5%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the mobile phone in all?
Discount
= 20% x 1300
=
20100 x 1300
= $260
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1300 - 260
= $1040
GST
= 5% x 1040
=
5100 x 1040
= $52
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 1040 + 52
= $1092
Answer(s): (a) $52; (b) $1092
