Pierre bought five microwave ovens that cost $184 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 9%, how much GST did Pierre have to pay for one microwave oven?
- What was the total cost of the microwave ovens, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Pierre had to pay for one microwave oven
= 9% x 184
=
9100 x 184
= $16.56
(b)
Cost of one microwave oven inclusive of GST
= 184 + 16.56
= $200.56
Cost of five microwave ovens inclusive of GST
= 5 x 200.56
= $1002.8
Answer(s): (a) $16.56; (b) $1002.8
