How Percentages affect our daily lives

Hi Kids,

You must be wondering why we are learning Percentages.

Here is a good example.

For GST-registered hotel and F&B operators, GST is charged on the sum of:
# Price of the goods and services; and
# 10% service charge





Food
$100.00
10% Service Charge$ 10.00
Sub-Total$110.00
7% GST ( on $110.00)$ 7.70
Total Price With GST$117.70
