Candy’s shopping trip

First of all, Candy bought herself a
tablet, as she’d wanted one for ages. This
cost 1,100 ringgits, but as it was the last
one in the shop, and was in the shop
window, she got 10% off. That was good
news, but she then had to pay an extra
6% GST.

After that, she went to the
market. She bought herself a
smart jacket and a matching skirt
for 325 ringgits and a beautiful silk
scarf for 80 ringgits. She asked
the cashier to reduce the price by
5 ringgits, and she agreed.

She was hungry, thirsty
and tired by now, and so
she had a fruit juice and a
sandwich, and this cost
her 25 ringgits.

On her way home, she decided to
buy some presents for her family.
She got her mum a lovely vase.
The retail price was 90 ringgits,
but she got it in a sale, and so got
a discount of 15 ringgits.

She saw a lovely painting
of a sunset. Her dad loves
sunsets. The shopkeeper
wanted 180 ringgits, but
she persuaded him to sell
it to her for 155 ringgits.

Her younger brother has a
sweet tooth, so she bought him
some sweets for 15 ringgits.

Finally, she was ready to come home.
She took a taxi, and that cost her 27
ringgits, including a small tip.
