A soccer ball has a wholesale price of $14 and is marked up 115% before it is sold. If Joe purchases the soccer ball with a 5.5% sales tax, how much will he pay in total?

Respuesta :

Answer:

22.47

Step-by-step explanation:

155%+5.5%=160.5%  

14x160.5%=22.47 is the total payment.

Answer:

$31.76

Step-by-step explanation:

Original (wholesale) price:  $14

Markup:  (1.15)($14) = $16.10

Marked up price:  (1.00 + 1.15)($14) = (2.15)($14) = $30.10

Total price (including tax):  (1.055)($30.10) = $31.76
