This is the correct answer: A store pays $10 for a bracelet, and the markup is 115%. A customer will also pay 5 1/2% sales tax. What will be the total cost of the bracelet to nearest cent?

t = 1.15 x 10
t = $11.5 (markup price)

t = $10 + 11.5
t = $21.50 (cost of bracelet w/ markup)

t = 21.50 x 5.50% = 21.50 x 0.055
t = $22.68 total cost


t = 21.50 x Hope this helps, Binaalierakassyw!
