To find where on the hill the canonball lands
So 0.15x = 2 + 0.12x - 0.002x^2
Taking the LHS expression to the right and rearranging we have -0.002x^2 + 0.12x -
0.15x + 2 = 0.
So we have -0.002x^2 - 0.03x + 2 = 0
I'll multiply through by -1 so we have
0.002x^2 + 0.03x -2 = 0.
This is a quadratic eqn with two solutions x1 = 25 and x2 = -40 since x cannot be negative x = 25. The second solution y = 0.15 * 25 = 3.75
96 plus 75 I think that is the answer
Firstly, we need to find the price of the blanket/bracelet after the 115% increase.
$10 x 1.15 = $15.20
Now for the 5.5% sales tax, which is applied the the new value of $15.20
$15.20 x 0.055 = 0.83
$15.20 + $0.83 = $16.03
The final cost for the blanket/bracelet is %16.03
