Adam wants to buy a massage chair. The usual price of the massage chair is $1600.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 25%.
He needs to pay a GST of 7%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the massage chair in all?
Discount
= 25% x 1600
=
25100 x 1600
= $400
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1600 - 400
= $1200
GST
= 7% x 1200
=
7100 x 1200
= $84
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the massage chair in all
= 1200 + 84
= $1284
Answer(s): (a) $84; (b) $1284
