Question

Omar wants to buy a pair of shoes which costs $80. In addition to the selling price, he has to pay a 5% GST. How much does he have to pay altogether? A) $84 B) $84.50 C) $85 D) $82

Answer 1

Omar has to pay a total of $84 for the pair of shoes, including the GST.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount Omar has to pay, we need to add the selling price with the GST. The selling price is $80 and the GST is 5% of the selling price. To calculate the GST, we multiply the selling price by 0.05 (since 5% is equivalent to 0.05 in decimal). So, the GST is $80 * 0.05 = $4.

Now, to find the total amount Omar has to pay, we add the selling price and the GST together. $80 + $4 = $84.

Therefore, Omar has to pay a total of $84.
