Dylan bought three blenders that cost $273 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 3%, how much GST did Dylan have to pay for one blender?
- What was the total cost of the blenders, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Dylan had to pay for one blender
= 3% x 273
=
3100 x 273
= $8.19
(b)
Cost of one blender inclusive of GST
= 273 + 8.19
= $281.19
Cost of three blenders inclusive of GST
= 3 x 281.19
= $843.57
Answer(s): (a) $8.19; (b) $843.57
