Dylan bought five microwave ovens that cost $197 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 5%, how much GST did Dylan have to pay for one microwave oven?
- What was the total cost of the microwave ovens, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Dylan had to pay for one microwave oven
= 5% x 197
=
5100 x 197
= $9.85
(b)
Cost of one microwave oven inclusive of GST
= 197 + 9.85
= $206.85
Cost of five microwave ovens inclusive of GST
= 5 x 206.85
= $1034.25
Answer(s): (a) $9.85; (b) $1034.25
