Sam is building a cabinet. The materials that he needs cost $480. To determine the price of the cabinet for his customer, Sam charges 30% more than the cost of the materials. Sam asks for a downpayment of 40% of the total before the work begins. The costumer pays the balance when the job is finished.

\n" ); document.write( "Price of the cabinet (to the customer) is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"cost of materials\" + \"30% of cost of materials\"
\n" ); document.write( "480 + .30(480)
\n" ); document.write( "= 480(1+.30)
\n" ); document.write( "= 480(1.30)
\n" ); document.write( "= $624 (cost of cabinet)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Down payment (due at start of work):
\n" ); document.write( ".40(624) = $249.60
\n" ); document.write( ".
