Question

A furniture store bought a couch for $425 and marked the price up by 70%. Angela bought the couch with a 6% tax. How much did Angela pay for the couch?

Answer 1

Answer:Angela paid 679,05 for the couch

Step-by-step explanation:

 425*70/100=29.750

29.750/100= 297,5

297,5+425=722,5

722,5*6/100=4.335/100=43,45

722,5-43,45=679,05

Answer 2

Answer:

$765.85

Step-by-step explanation:

How much did Angela pay for the couch?

the couch was marked up by 70%. hence this means that it was 170%

170% * 425 = $722.5

angela buys the couch with a 6% tax

6% * 722.5

= 43.35

now add the vat amount to the marked up amount

= 43.35 + 722.5 =  $ 765.85
