Answer:

D)
1.11x

Explanation:

Given pair of sunglasses cost
x dollars.

Now,

Increase the price of the sunglasses by
11 \%


11\% \ of\ x= (11)/(100) x= 0.11x

Price of sunglasses increased by
11 \%

So, we will add
11 \% to
x

That yields
11\% \ of\ x+ x\\=0.11x+x\\=1.11x


Expression
x+0.11(x)\ and\ 1.11x \ are\ same
