Web Application Chapter 3 page 109

Maria and José Hernandez are planning to buy two Mustek scanners series PLUGNSCAN1200 and three Motorola LS 350 pagers. Searching the Circuit City Web site for pagers and computer scanners, Maria and José find the price for each item. Consider the following scenario: When the order is placed, the total amount of all the items is $150 higher than the Web site prices due to a price increase.

1. What is the original total price of the two scanners and three pagers based on the price listings on the Web sites?

2. Compare the original total amount of all items to the new total amount and determine the percent of increase. Round to the nearest whole percent.

To solve this problem, use current price listings given on the www.circuitcity.com Web site. Include in your answer the date of the price listing and show all your work.
