Answer 1

The answer is B $106 dollars

Answer 2

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.
