Answer
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 .
[tex]=\frac{150}{100}[/tex]
= 1.5
10 % is written in the decimal form .
[tex]=\frac{10}{100}[/tex]
= 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.
Answer: The total cost of a tent is $85.8.
Explanation:
Since we have given that
Original price of a tent = $52
Mark-up percent = 150%
So, marked price becomes
[tex]\frac{150}{100}\times 52\\\\=\frac{3}{2}\times 52\\\\=3\times 26\\\\=\$78[/tex]
Now, he paid an additional 10% in sales tax.
So, final cost becomes
[tex]\frac{100+10}{100}\times 78\\\\=\frac{110}{100}\times 78\\\\=\frac{11}{10}\times 78\\\\=\frac{858}{10}\\\\=\$85.8[/tex]
So, the total cost of a tent is $85.8.
