IMPORTANT: “or part thereof ..” in the question requires students to round up to 134 to get the right multiple of $3 for their calculation.

i.	`($13\ 380)/100 = 133.8`

`:.\ text(Stamp duty)`	`= 134 xx $3`
	`= $402`

ii.

`text(Base rate) = $845`

`text(FSL) =\ text(1%) xx 845 = $8.45`

`text(Stamp)`	`=\ text(5.5%) xx(845 + 8.45)`
	`= 46.9397…`
	`= $46.94\ text{(nearest cent)}`

`text(GST)`	`= 10 text(%) xx(845 + 8.45)`
	`= 85.345`
	`= $85.35`

`:.\ text(Total cost)`	`= 845 + 8.45 + 46.94 + 85.35`
	`= $985.74`

♦ Mean mark 34%.

`text(Multi-policy discount)`

`text(New premium)`	`= 870 − (text(15%) xx 870)`
	`= $739.50`

`text(No claim bonus)`

`text(New premium)`	`= 739.50 − (text(20%) xx 739.50)`
	`= $591.60`

`text(Combined CTP bonus)`

`text(New premium)`	`= 591.60 − 50`
