Answer:
x=5.4
Step-by-step explanation:
-2.3(x - 1.2) = -9.66
Distribute -2.3
-2.3x + 2.76 = -9.66 (2 negatives make positive)
Subtract the constant (2.76)
-2.3x = -12.42
Divide by coefficient on both sides to get:
x=5.4

Let
be the most the manager can pay the suppliers.
Then, we know from the information given in the question that the manager needs a 30% markup based on cost.
Therefore, the guiding equation will be:

because $10 is the most people will pay for a neck warmer.
Thus, the above equation will become:




Thus, the most a manager can pay the suppliers for neck warmers and still keep the selling price at $10 is $7.69
The expression is
