A certain laptop is really popular and sells for $199.99. Since sales are so good, the store raises the price by 13%. What is the cost after the markup? Explain how you do it.

$255.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price is 199.99.

If the store raises the price by 13%, then we must simplify 13% into decimal form.

13% = 13/100 = .13.

199.99 x .13 = 25.99

If they raised the price by 13%, then we are adding the original price to the 13% they added.

199.99 + 25.99 = 225.98

The price after raised by 13% is $255.98.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
