Step-by-step explanation:

soln;

given; p(x) = x^4 - 3x^3 - 6x^2 + 9

using remainder theorem;

p(x) = p(a)

= p(2)

= (2)^4 - 3(2)^3 - 6(2)^2 + 9

= -23

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, before getting started, let's assume the price of the product is $x$ . This variable will be used a lot throughout the problem ( $x$ ).

2) Marking a price above means increasing the price in order to make money off of the purchased product. When raising something by $y$ percent, the new price would be $x + \frac{y}{100}*x$ .

---> In this case, the price increased by $\textbf{30}$ percent.

This means that it would be: $x+\frac{30}{100}x = x+0.3x=1.3x$

New price is: $1.3x$

3) The shopkeeper is then offering a $\textbf{15}$ percent discount off of this marked price. When offering a $b$ percent discount price, the new price (with discount), expressed algebraically is: $a-\frac{b}{100}a$
