Answer:

see attached

Explanation:

You want to multiply each individual value in the matrix by the same scalar value. That is represented as the product of a constant and the matrix.

___

The tax amount on price P is 0.07P. When that is added to P so you have the price + tax, you get P + .07P = 1.07P.

In this case, P is a matrix of prices.
