Adam wants to buy a mobile phone. The usual price of the mobile phone is $1750.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 3%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the mobile phone in all?
Discount
= 20% x 1750
=
20100 x 1750
= $350
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1750 - 350
= $1400
GST
= 3% x 1400
=
3100 x 1400
= $42
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 1400 + 42
= $1442
Answer(s): (a) $42; (b) $1442
