    X = cost in dollars

    selling price = 14.99 dollars

    40% of selling price = 0.4*14.99 = 5.996 which rounds to 6.00 dollars

    Arnold wants a profit of $6 per video game

    Profit = Revenue - Cost

    6 = 14.99 - x

    6+x = 14.99-x+x ... add x to both sides

    x+6 = 14.99

    x+6-6 = 14.99-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides

    x = 8.99

    Answer: Choice C) $8.99
