For this case we have the following variable:

s: The price of a pair of shoes

Therefore, the 5% sales tax is given by:


((5)/(100)) s

Then, the complete expression is:

The price of a pair of shoes plus 5% sales tax.

Writing algebraically we have:


s + ((5)/(100)) s

Simplifying we have:


s + 0.05s


s (1 + 0.05)


1.05s

Answer:

an algebraic expression to model the given context is:


1.05s
