*i wrote this answer assuming that $1,10,000 was mistyped and meant as $110,000 if not then this answer will be wrong*

Answer:$126,500

Let’s first write 15% as a decimal

15%=.15

Now let’s multiply that by 110,000

16,500= 110,000 ×.15

Now let’s add that onto 110,000

110,000+ 16,500= 126,500

That’s how much it’ll cost! Hope this helps comment below for more questions :)
