Question

An office supply store in Newport purchased a printer at a cost of $175 and marked it up 45%. Later on, Oliver bought the printer. If the sales tax in Newport is 12%, how much did he pay in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

$284.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1st. The question says that the printer is marked up 45%.

45% of 175 = 78.75.

175 + 78.75 = 253.75 = new cost of printer.

2nd. The question says the sales tax of the printer is 12%.

12% of 253.75 = 30.45. That is sales tax, so we have to add the cost plus the tax =

273.75 + 30.45 = 284.2
