B. y + 0.22y - 0.06(y)
C. y - 0.22y - 0.06(y)
D. y + 0.22y + 0.06(y)

Answer 1

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the cards is: A. y - 0.22y + 0.06(y). It represents the original price minus the discount plus the sales tax.

The answer is option ⇒a

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that can be used to determine the final cost of the cards is:A. y - 0.22y + 0.06(y).

To calculate the final cost, we start with the original price of the cards (y), subtract the discount of 22% (0.22y), and then add the sales tax of 6% (0.06(y)). This expression represents the final cost of the cards after the discount and sales tax have been applied.

The answer is option ⇒a
