$1.88 is our amount after the 380% is added!
$1.88 - 380%*x = x
Note, that when you are working with percents in a problem you need to convert the percent into a decimal value in order to properly work with it in an equation like the one above.
So, it will look like this:
$1.88 - 3.8x = x
Now onto explaining how I derived this equation in the first place, because it doesn't help you if you don't know how to do it yourself.
How a percent problem works is if you are taking some original price x, and increasing it by 380% you would take 380% of the item, and then adding it to the item. To take 380% of an item you would need to multiply the number by 380% (3.8). So, if you translate that into math it looks like this:
x + 380%*x = y
Y, in this case is $1.88. In other words it is the price AFTER you've added 380% to the cost. So I started to solve for x by subtracting 380%*x on both sides leaving us with this:
$1.88 - 3.8x = x
We need to solve the equation for x by adding 3.8x on both sides.
$1.88 = 3.8x + x
Combine like terms.
$1.88 = 4.8x
Divide both sides by 4.8.
$1.88/4.8 = x
So our original price is $1.88/4.8!
The question asks for the 380% * x part of the problem.
So we take our answer and multiply it by 3.8.
($1.88/4.8)*3.8 = $1.49 mark up!

Answer:
Addition prop of equality, multiplication prop of equality, multiplication prop. of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first one, we know that in order to solve the equation, we need to add 3 to both sides of the equation. When you add a value to both sides of the equation, you're using the addition property of equality.
For the second one, we know that in order to solve the equation, we need to multiply both side by 1/6 (to cancel the 6 out on the left side). When you multiply something to both sides of the equation, you're using the multiplication property of equality.
For the third one, we know that in order to solve the equation, we must multiply both sides of the equation by 5. Like the second problem, this would be the multiplication property of equality (since you're multiplying both sides of the equation by the same thing).
