Question

Hannah bought an emerald pendant online. It cost $751 plus 19% shipping and handling. What was the total cost? Round your answer to the nearest dollar: $

Answer 1

To find the shipping cost we can use the rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} 751\rightarrow100 \\ x\rightarrow19 \end{gathered}`

Then:

`x=(19\cdot751)/(100)=(14269)/(100)=142.69`

Therefore the total cost is $893.69
