Sorry this just got deleted :( ill post it again

= 7
I'm sorry I'm bad at explaining how i solved it
I googled how to do markup 50%... and it took me awhile but I think I got the answer, $2.66 + $1.33 (into $1.33 from 2.66 x0.5) and u get $3.99
Sorry If I'm wrong but I hoped I helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
Bringing like terms on one side
2 + 7 - 5 = 2x - 4x
9 - 5 = - 2x
4 = - 2x
4/ - 2 = x
- 2 = x
