Answer 2

Answer: $1411.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sale price is $35 each and there are 30 units, the cost will be:

= $35 × 30

= $1050

We then add the sales tax on the product which is 8%. This will be:

= $1050 + (8% × $1050)

= $1050 + (0.08 × $1050)

= $1050 + $84

= $1134

We then add Shipping price which is $15. This will be:

= $1134 + $15

= $1149

We then add the 25% rush charge on the sales price. This will be:

= $1050 × 25%

= $1050 × 0.25

= $262.50

To get total cost, this will be:

= $1149 + $262.50

= $1411.50
