Adam wants to buy a massage chair. The usual price of the massage chair is $2500.
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 2500
=
50100 x 2500
= $1250
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2500 - 1250
= $1250
GST
= 2% x 1250
=
2100 x 1250
= $25
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1250 + 25
= $1275
Answer(s): (a) $25; (b) $1275
