Answer:

$409.86

Explanation:

230 is the before markup

We must apply the markup (or even discount) before the tax is applied.

Marked up 65% means we must do .65(230) <---This will tell us how much more the tent is going to sell for

.65(230)=149.5

So we started with 230 and it is going up by 149.5, so the new price before tax is 230+149.5=379.5

Now the tax is applied to what you are paying (before tax).

So 8% of 379.5 is .08(379.5)=30.36

So new price + tax is the total cost

379.5 +30.36

=409.86
