A 15% percent markup means that the typewriter cost was increased by 15%, or 0.15 by moving the decimal 2 places to the left. If the original price was x, and 15% of it is 0.15*x, we can add them up to get 1.15*x=129.95. Dividing both sides by 1.15, we get x=113 dollars

Sale price=129.95
Mark up=15%
x=at cost price to ABC
Set up proportion:
129.95 x
--------- = ---------- (Got 1 from 100% which is the cost to ABC and 1.15 from 100%
1.15 1 +15% which is the cost to customer then changed to
decimal form.) Cross multiply
129.95=1.15x
129.95/1.15=1.15x/1.15
113=x
Cost to ABC is $113

If f(x) = 4x²-2 then f(-2) is​
klemol [59]
To find f(-2), substitute (-2) into x of the function f(x) = 4x^2-2
We get, f(-2) = 4(-2)^2 - 2
= (4*4)-2 = 16-2 = 14
Therefore, f(-2)=14.
