20 POINTS HELP ME ASAP!

The total cost after tax to repair Betty’s car is represented by 0.08(75ℎ) + 75ℎ, where h represents the number of
hours it takes to repair the car. What part of the expression represents the amount of tax Betty has to pay?

hmm, it might seem to be

75h=cost to repair car for h hours

and the tax=cost times tax rate
seems to be the 0.08(75h) part, which is 8% of the cost or 75h

so the part that is the tax is 0.08(75h)
