25. A video game store adds a 25% markup on each of the games that it sells. In
addition to the manufacturer’s cost, the store also pays a $1.50 shipping
charge on each game.
a. Write a function to represent the price f (x) per video game after the
store’s markup.
b. Write a function g(x) to represent the manufacturer’s cost plus the
shipping charge.
c. Suppose the manufacturer’s cost for a video game is $13. Use a
composite function to find the cost at the store if the markup is applied
after the shipping charge is added.
d. Suppose the manufacturer’s cost for a video game is $13. Use a
composite function to find the cost at the store if the markup is applied
before the shipping charge is added.

26. The formula V = π r expresses the relationship between the volume V and
3
radius r of a sphere. A weather balloon is being inflated so that the radius is
changing with respect to time according to the equation r=t+1, where t is the
time, in minutes, and r is the radius, in feet.
a. Write a composite function f ( t) to represent the volume of the weather
balloon after t minutes. Do not expand the expression.
b. Find the volume of the balloon after 5 minutes. Round the answer to two
decimal places. Use 3.14 for π.
27. A boutique prices merchandise by adding 80% to its cost. It later decreases
by 25% the price of items that do not sell quickly.
a. Write a function f (x) to represent the price after the 80% markup.
b. Write a function g(x) to represent the price after the 25% markdown.
c. Use a composition function to find the price of an item, after both price
adjustments, that originally costs the boutique $150.
d. Does the order in which the adjustments are applied make a difference?
Explain.
28. A department store has marked down its merchandise by 25%. It later
decreases by $5 the price of items that have not sold.
a. Write a function f (x) to represent the price after the 25% markdown.
b. Write a function g(x) to represent the price after the $5 markdown.
c. Use a composition function to find the price of a $50 item after both price adjustments.
d. Does the order in which the adjustments are applied make a difference?
Explain.
