A store in Wildgrove purchased an antique pull toy at a cost of $890 and marked it up 200%. Later on, Jeffrey bought the antique pull toy. If the sales tax in Wildgrove is 10%, how much did he pay in all?

Respuesta :

Answer: Jeffery paid $ 2937 in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The cost of antique pull = $890

Mark up percentage = 200%

New price = (cost) + (Mark up percentage) x (cost)

[tex]=\$( 890+\dfrac{200}{100}\times890)\\\\=\$( 890+2(890))\\\\=\$2670[/tex]

After a tax of 10% , the amount needs to be paid = New price + 10% of New price

 [tex]=\$(2670+\dfrac{10}{100}\times2670)=\$(2670+267)\\\\=\$2937[/tex]

Hence, Jeffery paid $ 2937 in all.
