ASAP

I’m taking a final that’s almost due 23. A clerk needs to price a cashmere sweater returned by a customer. The customer paid a total of $222.36 that included a gift wrapping charge of $4 and a 9% sales tax. What price should the clerk mark on the tag? A. $222.00 B. $200.33 C.$198.71 D.$ 200.00

Answer 1

$200.33

Explanation:

Total amount paid = $222.36

Wrapping charge = $4

Sales tax = 9%

The price would be:

Cost + sales tax amount = (Total amount paid - wrapping charge)

Cost + sales tax amount = (222.36 - 4)

Cost + sales tax = 218. 36

Subtracting the sales tax :

Let cost = x

x + 0.09x = 218. 36

1.09x = 218.36

x = 218.36 / 1.09

x = $200.33
