Answer:

Final price = 1.06x

Explanation:

If a city has a 6% general sales tax, then the total cost of any purchase will be the original price of an item plus 6%, as follows:

Final price = (x + 0.06x) = 1.06x

Therefore, the total cost of any purchase is 1.06 where 'x' represents the price of the items without taxes.
