Answer:
The correct answer is 149.00.
Step-by-step explanation:
Part = Percent • Whole
Adding a 65% markup to the original price of 105 is simply multiplying the price by the decimal form of the markup, then adding that to the original price. Next, you would find 20% of your sum by multiplying the sum by 0.20. Then you would find 7.5% of that and add this to the price.
Solve:
105 • 0.65 = 68.25 Find 65% of 105
105 + 68.25 = 173.25 Add the markup to the price
173.25 • 0.20 = 34.65 Find the discount of the new price
173.25 - 34.65 = 138.60 Subtract discount from price
138.60 • 0.075 = 10.395 Find sales tax of new price (Or round to 10.40)
138.60 + 10.395 = 148.995 Add sales tax to new price (Or 149)
Because money only goes to the hundredths place, we can either start rounding to that place in the second to last step - rounding 10.395 to 10.40 - or we can round our answer - 148.995 rounds to 149. Either way, we will still get an answer of $149.00.
Hope this helps.
