Answer:

$448.50

Step-by-step explanation:

"Marking up" an item by x% means to increase its price by x% of the original price.

Here, when marking up by 50%, you would multiply the original price by 1.5:

1.5*299 = $448.50

You wouldn't just multiply by .5 because that would only give you 50% of $299. You could multiply .5*299 and get $149.5, but then you'd have to add it to $299, which would get you $448.50 again!

The quicker way is to just multiply the original price by 1+x%.

Hope this helps!

What value ofx is in the solution set of 3(x-4)>5x +2?
kvv77 [185]

\boldsymbol{\sf{3(x-4) > 5x +2 }}

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−4.

\boldsymbol{\sf{3x-12 > 5x+2 }}

Subtract 5x on both sides.

\boldsymbol{\sf{3x-12-5x > 2 } }

Combine 3x and −5x to get −2x.

\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x-12 > 2 }}

Add 12 to both sides.

\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x > 2+12 \ \longmapsto \ \ [Add \ 2 +12]}}

\boldsymbol{\sf{-2x > 14}}

Divide both sides by −2. Since −2 is < 0, the inequality direction is changed.

\boldsymbol{\sf{x < \dfrac{14}{-2} \ \ \longmapsto \ \ \ [Split]}}

\boxed{\boldsymbol{\sf{x < -7 }}}

So in the <u>inequality 3(x-4)>5x +2</u>, the value of x is -7.
