Adam wants to buy a laptop. The usual price of the laptop is $1000.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 35%.
He needs to pay a GST of 2%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the laptop in all?
Discount
= 35% x 1000
=
35100 x 1000
= $350
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1000 - 350
= $650
GST
= 2% x 650
=
2100 x 650
= $13
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 650 + 13
= $663
Answer(s): (a) $13; (b) $663
