The most he could pay the manufacturer for the blow up bed is $213.57

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, if Jay King wants a 40% markup on selling price, we can state that “x” is 140% of $299.

Mathematically speaking:

1.4 x = $299

Where:

1.4 = decimal form of the percentage (140/100 =1.4)

x = manufacturer's blow up bed maximum price

Solving for x:

x = 299/1.4 = 213.57

So, the most he could pay the manufacturer for the blow up bed is $213.57
