Adam wants to buy a stereo system. The usual price of the stereo system is $2200.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 5%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the stereo system in all?
Discount
= 5% x 2200
=
5100 x 2200
= $110
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2200 - 110
= $2090
GST
= 10% x 2090
=
10100 x 2090
= $209
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the stereo system in all
= 2090 + 209
= $2299
Answer(s): (a) $209; (b) $2299
