100 points me! moses wanted to solve this problem. a box of spaghetti at the grocery store is purchased for $1.60 wholesale and is marked up by 60 percent. then, the store marks down the item by 20 percent. a customer wants to buy three boxes of spaghetti. how much will the customer pay, including paying 8 percent sales tax? round your answer to the nearest cent. look at the table below. a. step 1 b. step 2 c. step 3 d. step 4

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

mark up

1.60 * .60 = .96

the mark up is .96

new price

1.60 + .96 = 2.56

mark down

2.56 * .2 = .51

decrease the price by .51

2.56 - .51 = 2.05

the new price is 2.05

buying 3 boxes

3* 2.05 = 6.15   3 boxes cost 6.15 not 8.20

sales tax

6.15 * .08 = .49

add the tax

6.15+.49 = 6.64

The cost is 6.64

step-by-step explanation:

because 1/3 is a fraction. we can tell because there is a divisor symbol between the 1 and the 3. if we were to add 2 fractions together, we would add the numerators, which is the number on top, but not the denominators, which is the number on the bottom

1/3+1/3=2/3

hope this !
