A. 0.0625(n +p)+0.0625(0.75n+0.55p)B. (0.75n+0.55p)+0.0625(0.75n+0.55p)C.0.75(0.0625n)+0.55(0.0625n)D.0.75(1.0625n)+0.55(1.0625n)

Answer 1

The answer is B.(0.75n+0.55p)+0.0625(0.75n+0.55p)

Answer 2

B. (0.75n+0.55p)+0.0625(0.75n+0.55p)

Explanation:

Lance bought n notebooks that cost .75 each and p pens that cost .55 each.

Total cost of the things Lance bought equals:

(0.75n+0.55p)

There is 6.25% sales tax so,the taxable cost equals:

`(6.25)/(100)* (0.75n+0.55p)\\ \\=0.0625(0.75n+0.55p)`

Total amount Lance paid equals:

(0.75n+0.55p)+0.0625(0.75n+0.55p)

Hence, the correct option is:

B. (0.75n+0.55p)+0.0625(0.75n+0.55p)
