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!

Answer:

45 centimeters squared (45 square centimeters - same thing)

Explanation:

First we need the area of each shape

To find the area of a right triangle we multiply the length of the legs and then divide by 2 - ab/2

Triangle 1: 6 centimeters squared

Triangle 2: 9 centimeters squared

To find the area of a rectangle you multiply the length by the width - lw

Rectangle: 30 centimeters squared

Now we add the values together:

6 + 9 + 30 = 45 centimeters squared

That is my answer, if you need anything else or more clarification I will edit this :)
