Brandon bought four kettles that cost $169 each before Goods and Service Tax (GST).
- Given that GST was charged at 3%, how much GST did Brandon have to pay for one kettle?
- What was the total cost of the kettles, inclusive of GST?
(a)
GST that Brandon had to pay for one kettle
= 3% x 169
=
3100 x 169
= $5.07
(b)
Cost of one kettle inclusive of GST
= 169 + 5.07
= $174.07
Cost of four kettles inclusive of GST
= 4 x 174.07
= $696.28
Answer(s): (a) $5.07; (b) $696.28
