Answer:

$94.40

Explanation:

First, find the amount of markup by multiplying the original price of the tent by the markup rate:


\sf \$80 * 18\% = \$80 * 0.18 = \$14.40

Then add the markup amount to the original price to find the new price:


\sf \$80 + \$14.40 = \$94.40

So the new price is $94.40.
