Your cell phone plan costs $44.99 per month. You also pay 20% in taxes and fees. What is your bill after taxes and fees?

So the total bill will be 44.99 + 20% of 44.99 or the total bill (x) will equal 44.99 + .20 × 44.99

x = 44.99 + (.20)44.99
x = 44.99 + 9.00
x = $53.99

*note- .20(44.99) = 8.998 which rounds to $9.00
