The sanctuary’s gift shop purchases items for the amounts shown in the table. Leo marks up the cost of each item by 45% to determine the gift shop’s selling price. How much would a customer pay for one pair of binoculars and one bird guide after the markup and 8.5% sales tax? Explain.

Answer 1

382. 5

Explanation:

Answer 2

26.74 ($) or change currency sign to suit.

Explanation:

Binoculars Mark up = 10x 1.45 = 14.50

Sales tax = 14.5 x 1.085 = 15.7325

Total cost per Binocular = 15.73 ($,)

Bird Guide Mark up = 7 x 1.45 = 10.15

Sales Tax = 10.15 x 1.085 = 11.01275

Total cost per Bird Guide = 11.01 ($)

One of each is found by addition.

15.73 + 11.01 = 26.74 ($) or change currency sign to suit.
