Adam wants to buy a mobile phone. The usual price of the mobile phone is $2450.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 20%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the mobile phone in all?
Discount
= 20% x 2450
=
20100 x 2450
= $490
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2450 - 490
= $1960
GST
= 10% x 1960
=
10100 x 1960
= $196
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the mobile phone in all
= 1960 + 196
= $2156
Answer(s): (a) $196; (b) $2156
