The answer would be A)$679.80
The reason for this is let’s start with the mark up of 10%. Meaning we will add the result of the markup to our first number We would take 1000*.1 which would give us 100.
Add that to the original to give you $1,100.
Then the item was discounted for 40% meaning we take away the result of 1,100*.4 which equals 440. 1100-440=660.
Then taxes are added on to the total so you would do 660*.03 which would give you 19.8
660+19.8 gives you$679.80.
