Question

Shelby bought a painting for d dollars. She was charged a 7% sales tax for the painting. Which expression correctly shows the total price that Shelby paid for the painting?

d x 1.07

d + 0.07d

d(1 + 0.07)

1.07d

all of the above

Answer 1

The price of the painting = d dolars.

There is 7% sales tax for the painting.

Total amount of sales tax = 7% of $d.

=
`(d)((7)/(100) )`

=
`(d)(0.07)` =
`(0.07d)`

So the amount of sales tax = $(0.07d)

Now to find total price Shelby paid we have to add the sales tax with the price of painting.

So total price Shelby paid = $(
`d+(0.07d)`)

= $(
`d(1+0.07)`)

=$(
`d(1.07)`)

= $(
`1.07d`)

So we have got all the four options. So the correct option we can choose is the option 5 which is all of the above.
