Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost price = $n
Mark up price = selling price- cost price
= (20% × $n)
Selling price = $n + (20% × $n)
Sales tax = 5% × ($n + (20% × $n))
Total cost = selling price + sales tax
Total cost = $n + (20% × $n) + 5% × $n + (20% × $n)
= 1.2 × $n + 0.06 × $n
= 1.26 × $n.

-15x2 + -2x + 8 = 0
Reorder the terms:
8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0
Solving
8 + -2x + -15x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor a trinomial.
(2 + -3x)(4 + 5x) = 0
Subproblem 1Set the factor '(2 + -3x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
2 + -3x = 0
Solving
2 + -3x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2' to each side of the equation.
2 + -2 + -3x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0
0 + -3x = 0 + -2
-3x = 0 + -2
Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2
-3x = -2
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = 0.6666666667
Simplifying
x = 0.6666666667
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(4 + 5x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
4 + 5x = 0
Solving
4 + 5x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-4' to each side of the equation.
4 + -4 + 5x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 4 + -4 = 0
0 + 5x = 0 + -4
5x = 0 + -4
Combine like terms: 0 + -4 = -4
5x = -4
Divide each side by '5'.
x = -0.8
Simplifying
x = -0.8
Solutionx = {0.6666666667, -0.8}</span>
Y * x = $300 hope it helps
