Good evening!
In this question, we were asked to solve for the sales tax of the laptop that Youlanda bought.
We were given:
- Cost of laptop: $459
- Sales Tax: 7.5%
In order to find the amount Youlanda paid for the sales tax, we would multiply the cost of the laptop ($459) by the sales tax (0.075):
Calculate:
459 × 0.075 = 34.425
Your answer would be: $34.425
Origina Price = $240
Mark Up percentage = 15%
(15/100)*240
= $36
new price = $240 + $36
= $276
