Question

A leaf blower was marked up 100% from an original cost of $152. If Eva bought the leaf blower and paid 7% sales tax, how much in total did she pay?

Answer 1

$325.28

Explanation:

152+152=304

304x1.07=325.28

Answer 2

325.28

Explanation:

increase the price by 100 %

152* 100%

152

Add this to the original price

152+152 = 304

Now find the sales tax

304 * 7%

304 * .07

21.28

Add this to the amount of the purchase price

304+21.28

325.28
