A store in Oak Grove bought a computer for $100 and marked it up 125% from the original cost. Later on, Jack purchased the computer and paid Oak Grove sales tax of 8%. How much, including tax, did he pay for the computer?

OpenStudy (xguardians):

$100 * 2.25 (Mark Up Amount) = $225 (Sale Amount) $225 * .08 (Sales Tax Percent) = $18 (Tax Amount) $225 + $18 = $243 (Final Amount) Not sure if you meant they increased it 25% or 125% but I took what you said in the question! Hope this helps!
