Question

Roger wants to have 400 copies of his resume printed. His local print shop charges $21.50 for the first 200 copies and $10 for every 100 additional copies. How much will the 400 copies cost, including a sales tax of 6%? Type numerical answer only.

Answer 1

The total cost for 400 copies of Roger's resume, including a 6% sales tax, is $43.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost including sales tax for printing 400 copies of Roger's resume, we need to calculate the initial cost and then add the 6% sales tax.

First, the cost for the first 200 copies is $21.50. For the additional 200 copies (which is 2 groups of 100 copies), the print shop charges $10 per 100 copies. So, the additional cost will be 2 × $10 = $20.

The initial total before tax is $21.50 + $20 = $41.50.

Now we calculate the sales tax: 6% of $41.50 equals 0.06 × $41.50 = $2.49.

The total cost including sales tax is $41.50 + $2.49 = $43.99.

Answer 2

$43.99

Step-by-step explanation:

400 copies = 200 copies + 100 copies + 100 copies

Price:

200 copies - $21.50

100 additional copies - $10

100 additional copies - $10

Total = $21.50+$10+$10=$41.50

Sales tax = 6%

Find 6% of $41.50:

`\$41.50\cdot 0.06=\$2.49`

So, Roger will pay

`\$41.50+\$2.49=\$43.99`
