To find Sarah's new total cost including the gratuity, we need to first calculate the 2 percent shipping cost and then add it to the total cost of computer repair.
Shipping = 2/100 * 1444.50
Shipping = $28.89
Now, let's calculate the new total cost with the gratuity:
Gratuity = 15/100 * 1444.50 (excluding shipping)
New Total Cost = 1444.50 (total cost) + Shipping + Gratuity
New Total Cost = 1444.50 + 28.89 + Gratuity
Therefore, her new total cost would be 1444.50 + 28.89 + Gratuity.
Sarah mailed her computer to Store B for repairs. Her bill was:
Total Cost of Computer Repair = $1,444.50
Shipping = 2 percent of Total Cost
If Sarah wanted to include a 15 percent gratuity, based on the total cost of the computer repair, excluding shipping, how would you find her new total cost?
