Question

Miguel lives in a state where sales tax is 4%. This means you can find the total cost of an item, including tax, by using the expression c + 0.04c, where c is the pre-tax price of the item.

Use the expression to find the total cost of an item that has a pre-tax price of $28.00.

Answer 1

Answer:$29.12

c+0.04c (which can also be written as 1.04c, as they are like terms)

(28)+0.04 x (28)
28 + 1.12
=$29.12
