A store located in Vancouver, B. C., sells a computer for $1800 plus GST and PST. If the same model is sold at the same price in a store in Toronto, Ontario, what is the difference in the prices paid by

consumers in the two stores?

The difference is $18 more in Toronto, Ontario than in Vancouver, B.C.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Vancouver, British Columbia (B.C.), the GST and PST tax is 12% in total

So, the price will be equal to $2,016  ($1,800 x 1.12)

b) Toronto, Ontario, the tax includes the HST of  GST, and PST totalling 13%

So, the price will be equal to $2,034 ($1,800 x 1.13)

c) Therefore, the difference is $18 more in Toronto, Ontario than in Vancouver, B.C.

d) GST means goods and services tax.  In all Canada, it is 5%.

e) PST means provincial sales tax. In British Columbia, it is 7% and in Ontario, it is 8%.

f) HST means the harmonized sales tax, which is the addition of the two above.  For British Columbia, the HST is 12% and in Ontario, the HST is 13%.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
