Question

The expression p + 0.08p represents the total cost of an item with an initial price of p, plus an 8% sales tax. What is the total cost of an item with an initial price of $90?

Answer 1

$97.2

Explanation:=Given

The expression p + 0.08p

where P= the initial price

let y be the total cost, so that

y=p + 0.08p

for p=$90

y=90+0.08*90

y=90+7.2

y=$97.2

Hence the total cost for a $90 price is $97.2
