Bryan bought three gas stoves that cost $287 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 9%, how much GST did Bryan have to pay for one gas stove?
- What was the total cost of the gas stoves, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Bryan had to pay for one gas stove
= 9% x 287
=
9100 x 287
= $25.83
(b)
Cost of one gas stove inclusive of GST
= 287 + 25.83
= $312.83
Cost of three gas stoves inclusive of GST
= 3 x 312.83
= $938.49
Answer(s): (a) $25.83; (b) $938.49
