Question

The total cost after tax to repair Carl’s engine is represented by 0.095(125h)+125h, where h represents the number of hours it takes to repair Carl’s engine. What part of the expression represents the amount of tax Carl has to pay?

please show work im really confused on this one

Answer 1

Answer with Explanation:

We would say that the answer is the first piece of the equation [0.095(125h)].

The 125h is the amount that Carl is paying for the repair, so the tax amount would be 0.095 times the cost.

(He would be paying about $11.88 in tax per hour of repair. I got this by multiplying 0.095 and 125.)

I hope it will help you.
