Question

A store purchased a stylus for $22.00 and sold it to a customer for 20% more than the purchase price. The customer was charged a 6% tax when the stylus was sold. What was the customer’s total cost for the stylus?

Answer 1

Answer: $27.98

Explanation:

22.00 × .2= 4.40

22 + 4.40 = 26.40

26.40 × .06 = 1.584

26.40 + 1.584 = 27.984

Round to the nearest hundred so the total paid by the customer would be 27.98
