From the information provided, the lawn mower is sold at a price which is $75 over the cost of manufacture.
If the cost of manufacture is x, then we would have;
[tex]f(x)=x+75[/tex]Also, the store now sells the lawn mower for 140% of the price paid to the manufacturer. Therefore, we would have;
[tex]g(x)=f(x)1.4[/tex]Hence, if the manufacturer's cost is $230, the customer would be paying g(x). When the cost x is now given as 230, we wou;d have;
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(230)=230+75 \\ f(230)=305 \\ \text{Hence;} \\ g(x)=f(x)1.4 \\ g(x)=305\times1.4 \\ g(x)=427 \end{gathered}[/tex]ANSWER:
The function of the price is;
[tex]f(x)=x+75[/tex]The price a customer pays when the cost of manufacturing is $230 would now be $427
