Question

Stores often mark up items each year to cover inflation. Last year, a CD at Juan’s Tunes cost $12.95. This year, the cost was marked up 8%. The store also gave anyone who bought four CDs this year a 10% discount. Explain the steps to find the final cost for the four CDs this year.

Answer 1

12.95x8%=1.036

12.95+1.036=13.986

13.986x4=55.94-10%=

$50.3496

rouding up would be $50.35 for 4 cds this year
