\text{Let}~ f(x) = x^3-kx^2 +kx +2.\\\\\text{If}~ x-2~ \text{is a factor of}~ f(x)~ \text{then,}\\ \\f(2) =0\\\\\implies 2^3-k\cdot 2^2 +2k+2 =0\\\\\implies -4k+2k+8+2=0\\\\\implies 10-2k=0\\\\\implies 2k =10\\\\\implies k= \dfrac{10}2 = 5\\\\\\\text{Hence, the value of k is 5.}

lyudmila [28]
Since sale is 40% so the price is 60%

61*(60%) = 36.6

the tax is 5%

so the price after tax is: 36.6 * (1 +5%) = $38.43
