Adam wants to buy a computer. The usual price of the computer is $1800.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 25%.
He needs to pay a GST of 2%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the computer in all?
Discount
= 25% x 1800
=
25100 x 1800
= $450
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1800 - 450
= $1350
GST
= 2% x 1350
=
2100 x 1350
= $27
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the computer in all
= 1350 + 27
= $1377
Answer(s): (a) $27; (b) $1377
