Howard bought two gas stoves that cost $379 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 9%, how much GST did Howard have to pay for one gas stove?
- What was the total cost of the gas stoves, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Howard had to pay for one gas stove
= 9% x 379
=
9100 x 379
= $34.11
(b)
Cost of one gas stove inclusive of GST
= 379 + 34.11
= $413.11
Cost of two gas stoves inclusive of GST
= 2 x 413.11
= $826.22
Answer(s): (a) $34.11; (b) $826.22
