To calculate the amount of GST (Goods and Services Tax) included in the price of $62.70, knowing that the GST rate is 10%, follow these steps:

Let the total price be $ P = 62.70 $ and let the GST rate be 10%.

1. The formula to find the GST amount included in the price is:

\[
\text{GST Amount} = \frac{\text{Total Price}}{1 + \text{GST Rate}}
\]

2. Substituting the values:

\[
\text{GST Amount} = \frac{62.70}{1 + 0.10} = \frac{62.70}{1.10}
\]

3. Performing the division:

\[
\text{GST Amount} = 57.00
\]

4. Now, subtract this from the total price to find the amount of GST included:

\[
\text{Amount of GST} = 62.70 - 57.00 = 5.70
\]

So, the amount of GST included is **$5.70**.
