Complete the two expressions that represent the total cost of the bill after the 8% tax is added to the bill. 240+ _______ x240240+_______Which 2 of these go in the blank?A.) 8B.) 0.08C.) 0.80D.) 19.20E.) 192F.) 259.20G.) 24

Answer 1

B.) 0.08

D.) 19.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the meal before tax = $240

Percentage added as tax = 8%

Therefore, the total cost of the bill after the 8% tax is added to the bill is:

`\begin{gathered} 240+8\%*240 \\ =240+(8)/(100)*240 \\ =240+0.08*240 \end{gathered}`

If we simplify further, we have:

`=240+19.20`
