Howard bought five blenders that cost $198 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 8%, how much GST did Howard have to pay for one blender?
- What was the total cost of the blenders, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Howard had to pay for one blender
= 8% x 198
=
8100 x 198
= $15.84
(b)
Cost of one blender inclusive of GST
= 198 + 15.84
= $213.84
Cost of five blenders inclusive of GST
= 5 x 213.84
= $1069.2
Answer(s): (a) $15.84; (b) $1069.2
