Question

The cost of a game g with 7% sales tax can be represented by the expression g + 0.07g. Simplify the expression. Then determine the total cost of the game after sales tax if the original price is $52. (Remember that the coefficient of g is 1).

Answer 1

$58.64

Explanation:

The total cost of a game g with 7% sales tax can be represented by the expression

g + 0.07g

From the above question,

g = Original price of the game = $52.

The total cost of game g =

$52 + 0.07 × $52

$52 + $3.64

= $58.64
