Question

A tent was marked up 150% from an original cost of $52. Last Friday, Ethan bought the tent and paid an additional 10% in sales tax. What was his total cost? Question 1 options:

Answer 1

$143

First you would have to find out the price that the tent was bumped up to.

52*150%=78

You then add the answer to your original price.

52+78=130

You then have to find the sales tax. You do this by multiplying 10% to your new price.

130*10%=13

You then have to add the sales tax to your number.

130+13=143

$143 is your answer.

Answer 2

If a tent that cost $52 had been marked up 150%, and discounted 10% then the net price would be $130. I hope I helped :).
