Adam wants to buy a television set. The usual price of the television set is $2000.
As a privileged card member, he is entitled to a discount of 45%.
He needs to pay a GST of 6%.
- How much is the GST?
- How much does he pay for the television set in all?
Discount
= 45% x 2000
=
45100 x 2000
= $900
Amount that Adam has to pay
= 2000 - 900
= $1100
GST
= 6% x 1100
=
6100 x 1100
= $66
(b)
Amount that Adam pays for the television set in all
= 1100 + 66
= $1166
Answer(s): (a) $66; (b) $1166
