Adam wants to buy a projector. The usual price of the projector is $1500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 40%.
He needs to pay a GST of 3%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the projector in all?
Discount
= 40% x 1500
=
40100 x 1500
= $600
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1500 - 600
= $900
GST
= 3% x 900
=
3100 x 900
= $27
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the projector in all
= 900 + 27
= $927
Answer(s): (a) $27; (b) $927
