Adam wants to buy a laptop. The usual price of the laptop is $1300.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the laptop in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1300
=
50100 x 1300
= $650
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1300 - 650
= $650
GST
= 12% x 650
=
12100 x 650
= $78
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the laptop in all
= 650 + 78
= $728
Answer(s): (a) $78; (b) $728
