Harold worked at a men's clothing store which marks up it's retail clothing by 27%. The store purchases pants for $74, suit jackets for $325, and dress shirts for $48. How much will Harold charge a customer for two pairs of pants, three dress shirts, and a suit jacket?

Let first find the purchase price (cost) of 2 pair of pants, 3 dress shirts, and 1 suit jacket.

2 pants = \(74*2=148\)

3 dress shirts = \(48*3=144\)

1 suit jacket = \(325*1=325\)

Summing all these, we have \(148+144+325=617\)

Harold marks up 27% of his cost. So we add 27% of 617 to 617.

\(617+(0.27)(617)=783.59\)

Hence, Harold charges $783.59 to his customer who will buy 2 pants, 3 shirts, and 1 suit jacket.

ANSWER: $783.59
