Question

Sung owns a plumbing supply store. One of his clients, Village Plumbers, has a charge account with his store. This month Village Plumbers charged 200 feet of pipe at $0.40 per foot, 150 elbow joints at $0.75 per elbow joint, and 36 outdoor faucets at $2.49 per faucet. Sung must charge 5.5% sales tax on all items sold? What is the balance on Village Plumbers’ charge account?

Answer 1

$297.66

Step-by-step explanation:

The total costs of the items would be

200 feet pipe : 200 x $0.40 = $80.00

150 elbow joints: 150 x $0.75 = $112.50

36 outdoor faucets: 36 x $2.49 =$ 89.64

Total cost =$282.14

add 5.5% tax

=5.5/100 x $282.14 =$15.52

Total $297.66

The balance on Village Plumbers’ charge account =$297.66
