A pair of jeans is marked up 20% on the original price the original price was $50 what is the sale price of the pair of jeans before salrs tax

$60

Step-by-step explanation:

50 x 0.2 = 10

10 + 50 = 60

the answer is 200

step-by-step explanation:

the way the question is worded, it seems to imply the $264 interest is simple interest, not compound interest.

the simple interest for 2 years is $264; the simple interest for 1 year is $132.

$132 interest on a $600 investment means an interest rate of (132/600)*100 = 22%.

the value of $200 at 22% interest compounded annually for three years is

200%281.22%29%5e3

the amount of interest is that value, minus the original $200.
