Will bought two juicers that cost $399 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 9%, how much GST did Will have to pay for one juicer?
- What was the total cost of the juicers, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Will had to pay for one juicer
= 9% x 399
=
9100 x 399
= $35.91
(b)
Cost of one juicer inclusive of GST
= 399 + 35.91
= $434.91
Cost of two juicers inclusive of GST
= 2 x 434.91
= $869.82
Answer(s): (a) $35.91; (b) $869.82
