Question

A store in Greenpoint purchased a silver coat rack at the cost of $48 and marked it up at 25%. Later on,Prithia brought the silver coat rack. If the sales tax in Greenpoint is 15%, how much did she pay in all?

Answer 1

$69.

Explanation:

he store marked up the silver coat rack for $48 * 25/100 = $12.

So the silver coat rack was sold for $48 + $12 = $60.

The sales tax is $60 * 15/100 = $9.

Thus, Prithia paid a total of $60 + $9 = $69.
