Question

Jane and Tannic split the cost of buying a video game. The game costs$25, and the sales is 6% markup. How much do they each pay?

Answer 1

Given:

The cost of game = $25

Sales markup = 6%

To find:

How much do they each pay?

Solution:

The sales markup is 6% of the cost.

`\text{Sales markup}=25* (6)/(100)`

`\text{Sales markup}=1.5`

Now, the total cost after sales markup is:

`25+1.5=26.5`

Jane and Tannic split the cost of buying a video game. It means they divide the cost in two equal parts. So, the amount paid by each one is

`(26.5)/(2)=13.25`

Therefore, Jane and Tannic will pay $13.25 each .
