22. Lets Learn! James bought a car for $780 000. He had to pay GCT of 16 ½%. How much tax did he pay? What was the cost of the car including sales tax?

23. SINCE IT’S A PERCENTAGE 16.5 x 780,000 = 128, 700 100 Or 0.165 x 780, 000= 128, 700

24. SINCE IT’S A PERCENTAGE 16.5 x 780,000 = 128, 700 100 Or 0.165 x 780, 000= 128, 700 GCT= $128, 700

25. AMOUNT WITH GCT Add GCT to Initial Amount 1) 780,000+128,700 = 908, 700 OR

26. AMOUNT WITH GCT Add GCT to Initial Amount 1) 780,000+128,700 OR 2) 1 represents the initial value, anything times 1 is itself. The GCT value is.165 Thus total value = 1.165 TRY IT!

27. AMOUNT WITH GCT 1.165x780, 000 = $908,700

29. But what if you were given the FINAL PRICE OF AN ITEM? How could you find the GCT alone How would you find the Price of the item alone?

30. Lets Learn! Using the example before: Car final price =$908, 700 What would you do?

31. Lets Learn! Using the example before: Car final price =$908, 700 What would you do? Multiply then Add Divide then Subtract

32. Oooooppps!! Soooooorrryyy! T’was the other one….. Never mind…..nuh fret you hear

33. That’s CORRECT!!! Very Good! We would Divide then subtract in this way. 908,700 /1.165= 780,000 What’s this?

34. That’s CORRECT!!! Very Good! We would Divide then subtract in this way. 908,700 /1.165= 780,000 That’s gives us our Base Price of our item! 980,700-780,000= 128,700 What’s this??

35. Beautiful! Our Base price =780,000 Our GCT=128,700 FINAL PRICE=$908,700
