Answer:

The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Total cost paid by Lucas = $1,331

Cost of the refrigerator = c

Sales tax on the refrigerator = 8% of c

Charges to deliver refrigerator = $35

$c+8\% \text{of c}+\$35=\$1,331$

$c+0.08c+\$35=\$1,331$

$c=(\$1,331 -\$35)/(1.08)$

c = $1200

Amount Sales tax on the refrigerator = 8% of c

$(8)/(100)* \$ 1200=\$96$

Lucas had paid 96 dollars as a sales tax.
