2) Orion buys 3 books for a total of $25.50. He pays $8 plus sales tax for each book. He wants

to know how much the sales tax is for one book.
) Which quantity is unknown?
.) the sales tax for each book
Let t equal the sales tax Orion pays for each book. Write an equation that
represents the situation.
3
8
25.50
t

Answer 1

Answer: the equation would be 3(t + 8) = 25.50 :)

Answer 2

Answer: I think the Sales tax is 0.5 because 0.5 X 3 is 1.5, He paid $24 in total for the books so you would do 24 + 1.5 and get 25.50, So it would have to be 0.5 sales tax for one book. Sorry about my English.
