If you would like to know the price Jay can pay the manufacturer for the blow up bed, you can calculate this using the following steps:
100% + 40% = 140%
140% of x is $299
140% * x = 299
140/100 * x = 299 /*100/140
x = 299 * 100 / 140
x = $213.6
40% of $213.6 = 40% * 213.6 = 40/100 * 213.6 = 85.44
$213.6 + $85.44 = $299
The correct result would be $213.6.
7/k - 2 = 5/8
7/k = 5/8 + 2
7/k = 2.625
7 = 2.625k
7/2.625 = 2.625k/2.625
2(2/3) = k
k = 2(2/3)
