Answer:


1.13x

Explanation:

We have been given that Camacho is buying a monster truck. The price of the truck is x dollars, and he also has to pay a 13% monster truck tax. We are asked to find the total amount paid by Camacho for the monster truck.

The total cost of monster truck would be x plus 13% of x.


\text{The total cost of monster truck}=x+(13)/(100)x


\text{The total cost of monster truck}=x+0.13x


\text{The total cost of monster truck}=1.13x

Therefore, Camacho paid
1.13x dollars in total for the truck.
