A store purchases an item wholesale for 60 dollars and marks it up by 70 percent. If there is a 7 percent tax on the item, how much will the item cost?

A 70% markup on $60 is $60 × 0.70 = $42, so the marked-up price is $60 + $42 = $102. The 7% tax is $102 × 0.07 = $7.14. Adding the tax gives a total cost of $102 + $7.14 = $109.14, choice C, “109.14 dollars.”
