Tim bought three microwave ovens that cost $239 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 7%, how much GST did Tim have to pay for one microwave oven?
- What was the total cost of the microwave ovens, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Tim had to pay for one microwave oven
= 7% x 239
=
7100 x 239
= $16.73
(b)
Cost of one microwave oven inclusive of GST
= 239 + 16.73
= $255.73
Cost of three microwave ovens inclusive of GST
= 3 x 255.73
= $767.19
Answer(s): (a) $16.73; (b) $767.19
