1st question
$23,760-(4000+6000)=$13,760
$13,760 x 4%=$ 550.40
2nd question
$43,300-(2000+2000)= $39,300
$39,300 x 5%= $1,965
Firstly, we need to find the price of the blanket/bracelet after the 115% increase.
$10 x 1.15 = $15.20
Now for the 5.5% sales tax, which is applied the the new value of $15.20
$15.20 x 0.055 = 0.83
$15.20 + $0.83 = $16.03
The final cost for the blanket/bracelet is %16.03
If you think about it, 4x7 is half of 8x7 (If you multiply 4, 7, and 2, you get 8x7). So really you can just multiply 4x7 by 2 and you will get 8x7!
