Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $1100.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 6%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1100
=
50100 x 1100
= $550
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1100 - 550
= $550
GST
= 6% x 550
=
6100 x 550
= $33
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 550 + 33
= $583
Answer(s): (a) $33; (b) $583
