Question

JA mattress store in Stafford purchased a mattress at a cost of $255 and marked it up 100%. Later on, Cassie bought the mattress. If the sales tax in Stafford is 11%, how much did she pay in all?

Answer 1

Answer:

She pays $566.10

Step-by-step explanation:

The mattress store marks a mattress up 100%. 100% of $225 is 225. We add 225 to 225 and get 510. Therefore, the store sells the mattress for $510 without tax. When Cassie buys the mattress, we have to add 11% tax. We change 11% to 0.11 and multiply that by the selling price (510). We get 56.10, so that is the tax. We add the tax to the selling price and get $566.10. Cassie pays $566.10 for the mattress.
