Question: Latrell wants to buy something that costs $880 before GST. GST is charged at 10%. What is the total cost after GST is added?
(1) $960
(2) $968
(3) $950
(4) $965
Solution:
Find the total cost by writing and solving an equation:
total cost with GST = cost without GST + 10% of cost without GST
= 880 + 0.10 * 880 Substitute
= 880 + 88 Multiply
= 968 Add
The total cost after GST is added is $968.
Then the option is (2) $968
