Adam wants to buy a stereo system. The usual price of the stereo system is $600.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 35%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the stereo system in all?
Discount
= 35% x 600
=
35100 x 600
= $210
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 600 - 210
= $390
GST
= 10% x 390
=
10100 x 390
= $39
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the stereo system in all
= 390 + 39
= $429
Answer(s): (a) $39; (b) $429
