Seth bought two blenders that cost $227 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 5%, how much GST did Seth have to pay for one blender?
- What was the total cost of the blenders, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Seth had to pay for one blender
= 5% x 227
=
5100 x 227
= $11.35
(b)
Cost of one blender inclusive of GST
= 227 + 11.35
= $238.35
Cost of two blenders inclusive of GST
= 2 x 238.35
= $476.7
Answer(s): (a) $11.35; (b) $476.7
