Adam wants to buy a tablet. The usual price of the tablet is $500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 5%.
He needs to pay a GST of 8%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the tablet in all?
Discount
= 5% x 500
=
5100 x 500
= $25
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 500 - 25
= $475
GST
= 8% x 475
=
8100 x 475
= $38
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the tablet in all
= 475 + 38
= $513
Answer(s): (a) $38; (b) $513
