Example 1 A pawn shop owner buys a ring for $75 and sells it at an 80% mark-up. Find how much the ring sold for. • Method 1: Proportions • Method 2: Percent Equation • x = 80%·75 • x = 0.8·75 • x = 60 • Method 3: Percent of Increase • The markup is $60. The total price is 60 + 75 = $135.
Example 2 Sesily found an outfit that is 20% off the original price of $68. Find the discounted price of the outfit. • Method 1: Proportions • Method 2: Percent Equation • x = 20%·68 • x = 0.2·68 • x = 13.6 • Method 3: Percent of Increase • The discount is $13.60. The sale price is 68 – 13.60 = $54.40.
Example 3a Leah bought a new stereo in Seattle, Washington for $250. Find the actual amount she paid at the checkout if she was charged the state sales tax of 6.5%. • Find 6.5% of $250. • Use the percent equation. x = 0.065·250 x = 16.25 • Add the tax to the total 16.25 + 250 = $266.25 • Leah would pay $266.25 for the stereo.
Example 3b Leah bought a new stereo in Seattle, Washington for $250. Find the actual amount she paid at the checkout if she was charged the city and state tax combined of 8.45%. • Find 8.45% of $250. • Use the percent equation. x = 0.0845·250 x = 21.125 • Round to nearest cent. x ≈ 21.13 • Add the tax to the total 21.13 + 250 = $271.13 • Leah would pay $271.13 for the stereo.
