Glen bought three microwave ovens that cost $286 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 6%, how much GST did Glen have to pay for one microwave oven?
- What was the total cost of the microwave ovens, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Glen had to pay for one microwave oven
= 6% x 286
=
6100 x 286
= $17.16
(b)
Cost of one microwave oven inclusive of GST
= 286 + 17.16
= $303.16
Cost of three microwave ovens inclusive of GST
= 3 x 303.16
= $909.48
Answer(s): (a) $17.16; (b) $909.48
