Question

I don't know how to write an expression because now I'm confused about everything

Answer 1

1. 0.07x

2. 0.07x + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Katie should collect 7% of the rental fee for tax. So, we can find the 7% of any amount multiplying the amount by 0.07.

Then, the algebraic expression that represents the tax that Katie will collect is:

0.07·x

Where x is the amount of the rental fee.

Then, if Katie will collect a gratuity of $35, the expression that represents the total amount of additional money is:

0.07x + 35

Where 0.07x is the amount for the taxes and 35 is the amount for the gratuity.
