the answer to this question would be 12 and 1/8
First, you plug your given values in. Since x is 1.5, it will be multiples by 2x to get 3.2. Since y is -3, it will be added to 1 to get -2. Finally, the two are multiplied together to get -6.4 if I am correct.
So, ($299.95)(. 30) = $89.99
$299.95 - $89.99= $209.96
($209.96)(.05)=$10.50
$209.96 + $10.50 = $220.46
