Question

An appliance store bought a clothes dryer and marked it up 20% from the original cost of $866.71. Later on, Jackie purchased the dryer and paid 4% sales tax. How much, including tax, did she pay for the dryer?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1081.65

Step-by-step explanation:

866.71/5 gives you 173.34 as 20 percent

add that to the original fir an upmarket and it will be 1040.05.

4 percent of that is $41.60 so add that again and you get 1081.65 as the total amount paid.

The amount Jackie paid for the clothes dryer is  $1081.65.

What does mark up and tax mean?

What is the amount paid by Jackie?

The mark up price of the clothes dryer = 1.20 x $866.71 = $1040.05

Amount paid by Jackie = 1.04 x $1040.05 = $1081.65
