Part A:
Given that <span>the mattress is sold for 50% off of the retail price, let the retail price of the mattress be x, then
50% of x = 1200
⇒ 0.5x = 1200
⇒ x = 1200 / 0.5 = 2400
Therefore, </span><span>the retail price of the mattress, before the discount is $2,400.
Part B:
Given that </span><span>the store marks up the retail price to 150% of the wholesale price. Let the whole sale price be p, then
(100% + 150%) of p = 2400
250% of p = 2400
2.5p = 2400
p = 2400 / 2.5 = 960.
Therefore, </span><span>the wholesale price, before the markup was $960</span>
Here is the equation:

You need to find f(3). To do that, substitute all the x's with 3:

The first thing you need to do is multiply 4 by 3. Multiply:

Here is your new equation:

To get your answer, you need to add 12 and 1. Add:

That means:
