Answer 2

Answer:

The customer will be charged 25.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The markup  is the original price times the markup rate

markup = 7.2*250%

markup = 7.2*2.5

             = 18

The new price is the original price plus the markup

New price = original price + markup

                    =7.2+ 18

                    25.20

The customer will be charged 25.20
