Question

Camacho is buying a monster truck. The price of the truck is x dollars, and he also has to pay a 13%, percent monster truck tax. Which of the following expressions could represent how much Camacho pays in total for the truck?

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

We will consider the price of the truck to be $x

And the amount of tax in the percentage would be 13%

13/100

= $ 0.13x (this is the actual amount of the tax)

Now we will calculate the total price of the truck =

$x + $ 0.13x

= $ x(1 + 0.13)
