Solution

  1. First, we need to calculate the GST. Since the GST is 10% of the total price, we can represent this as 10/100 or 0.10.

  2. Multiply the cost of the television before GST by 0.10 to find the amount of the GST.

    7200.10=720 * 0.10 = 72

  3. Add the amount of the GST to the original price to find the total price Cheko paid.

    720+720 + 72 = $792

So, Cheko paid $792 for the television.
