Hello!
In your problem the equation will look like this:
Original Price + (Orig. x percent)

14.99 + (14.99 x .40)
                  =5.99
    14.99 + 5.99
          =$20.98

I Hope this Helps!!

Answer 2

Answer:

$20.99

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of a video game at a game stop = $14.99

Game stop marks the game up at 40% of the selling price.

Now the new cost of the game = 14.99 + ( 40% × 14.99 )

                                                   = 14.99 + (0.40 × 14.99)

                                                   = 14.99 + 5.996

                                                   = $20.986 ≈ $20.99

The cost of the game to gamestop is $20.99.
