Mrs. House wants to buy a wireless speaker for her husband. She has narrowed down her choice to two stores: • Kohls is selling the speaker for $60.00. Mrs. House has a Friends and Family discount coupon for 25% off. • Target purchased the speaker for $38.00 and marked it up by 15% to sell in the store. How much would Mrs. House pay for this speaker at Target? Show your work

Answer: $43.70
Explanation: if target marked up the speaker by 15%, then you multiply the original price by 1.15 to get the answer:
$38 x 1.15 = $43.70
