Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The wholesale price of the shoes is 125 dollars
The retailer marks it uu to 35% more to the wholesale price.
So the price is now 125 + 35% * 125 dollars
That amount is 125 + 35/100 * 125 = 125 + 43.75 = 168.75
The government wants its cut of 6.5% of the selling price
So the final price is 168.75 + 168.75 * 6.5/100
The final price is 168.75 + 10.97 = 179.72
Answer: A customer pays 179.72 dollars.
