Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $800.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 10%.
He needs to pay a GST of 10%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 10% x 800
=
10100 x 800
= $80
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 800 - 80
= $720
GST
= 10% x 720
=
10100 x 720
= $72
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 720 + 72
= $792
Answer(s): (a) $72; (b) $792
