Due to the increased rate of its rent, the Neat Novelties Store had to markup the cost of its helium balloons by 7%. The store’s original cost for a bunch of 8 primary-colored helium-filled balloons was $7.00. What was the selling price after markup?
7% = 0.07
7 * 0.07 = $0.49 (Increase)

Question #3:
Cecil Home Builders are offering 10% off the option of finishing a basement on all the new homes they are currently building in the Miller Falls Subdivision. The original cost for the finished basement option is $12,000. What is the cost to the buyer after the discount?
