Hannah bought an emerald pendant online. It cost $751 plus 19% shipping and handling. What was the total cost? Round your answer to the nearest dollar: $



Answer :

To find the shipping cost we can use the rule of three:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 751\rightarrow100 \\ x\rightarrow19 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]x=\frac{19\cdot751}{100}=\frac{14269}{100}=142.69[/tex]

Therefore the total cost is $893.69
