Adam wants to buy a printer. The usual price of the printer is $1250.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 50%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the printer in all?
Discount
= 50% x 1250
=
50100 x 1250
= $625
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 1250 - 625
= $625
GST
= 12% x 625
=
12100 x 625
= $75
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the printer in all
= 625 + 75
= $700
Answer(s): (a) $75; (b) $700
