Adam wants to buy a massage chair. The usual price of the massage chair is $1300.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 2%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the massage chair in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1300
=
50100 x 1300
= $650
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1300 - 650
= $650
GST
= 2% x 650
=
2100 x 650
= $13
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 650 + 13
= $663
Answer(s): (a) $13; (b) $663
