Adam wants to buy a hi-fi system. The usual price of the hi-fi system is $2500.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 45%.
He needs to pay a GST of 12%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the hi-fi system in all?
Discount
= 45% x 2500
=
45100 x 2500
= $1125
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2500 - 1125
= $1375
GST
= 12% x 1375
=
12100 x 1375
= $165
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the hi-fi system in all
= 1375 + 165
= $1540
Answer(s): (a) $165; (b) $1540
