Question

Suppose you are in Watson Lake, Yukon. For a Notebook computer: Regular price $1598,

now 20% off

a) Calculate the discount.

b) Calculate the sale price, before taxes.

c) Calculate the sale price, including taxes. (GST 5% only)​

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) The discount is 20% of the regular price, which is:

Discount = 20% x $1598 = $319.60

b) The sale price before taxes can be calculated by subtracting the discount from the regular price:

Sale price before taxes = Regular price - Discount

Sale price before taxes = $1598 - $319.60

Sale price before taxes = $1278.40

c) To calculate the sale price including taxes, we need to add the GST of 5% to the sale price before taxes:

Sale price including taxes = Sale price before taxes + (GST x Sale price before taxes)

Sale price including taxes = $1278.40 + (0.05 x $1278.40)

Sale price including taxes = $1278.40 + $63.92

Sale price including taxes = $1342.32

Therefore, the sale price including taxes is $1342.32.
