Question
Cheko bought a television that costs $720 before GST.Given that GST took 10% of the total price (price before GST + GST), how much did Cheko pay?
Solution
-
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.
-
Multiply the cost of the television before GST by 0.10 to find the amount of the GST.
72
-
Add the amount of the GST to the original price to find the total price Cheko paid.
72 = $792
So, Cheko paid $792 for the television.
