Price and tax

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the final price of a puppy after applying a markup, a discount, and a tax. Starting with an initial price, the tutorial demonstrates how to increase the price by 80% using decimal multiplication, apply a 50% discount, and finally add a 1% tax to determine the final cost. The process involves converting percentages to decimals and performing arithmetic operations to reach the final price.

What is the initial cost of the puppy before any markup or discount?

• $399.95

• $299.95

• $199.95

• $499.95

How do you calculate the new price after an 80% markup?

• Add 80% of the original price to itself

• Divide the original price by 0.80

• Subtract 80% of the original price from itself

• Multiply the original price by 0.80

What is the new price of the puppy after the 80% markup?

• $539.91

• $299.95

• $269.95

• $239.96

How is the 50% discount applied to the marked-up price?

• Divide the marked-up price by 1.50

• Subtract 50% of the marked-up price

• Add 50% of the marked-up price

• Multiply the marked-up price by 1.50

What is the final cost of the puppy after applying the discount and tax?

• $272.65

• $269.95

• $299.95

• $539.91
