Adam wants to buy a stereo system. The usual price of the stereo system is $900.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 8%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the stereo system in all?
Discount
= 50% x 900
=
50100 x 900
= $450
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 900 - 450
= $450
GST
= 8% x 450
=
8100 x 450
= $36
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the stereo system in all
= 450 + 36
= $486
Answer(s): (a) $36; (b) $486
