Find out the what was his total cost .
To prove
As given
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.
Than the equation becomes
150 % is written in the decimal form .
= 1.5
10 % is written in the decimal form .
= 0.1
cost of the tent when 150% marked up from origianl price = 1.5× 52
= $ 78
cost of the tent = origianl cost + 150% marked up from origianl price
= $52 + $78
= $ 130
Sales price on the tent = $130 × 0.1
= 13
Total cost of the tent = $130 + $13
= $143
Therefore the cost of the tent is $143.
