Hi there! :)

Solve for j(h(x)):
h(x) = x² + 4
j(x) = 4x - 1
Substitute in h(x) into "x":
j(h(x)) = 4(x² + 4) - 1
j(h(x)) = 4x² + 16 - 1
j(h(x)) = 4x² + 15
Solve at x = 2:
4(2)² + 15 = 4(4) + 15 = 31.
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
