Question

The sales tax rate is 6%, and the price of a movie ticket is x dollars. Choose two expressions for the cost of the ticket, including the tax. A 1.06x B 6x C 7x D x+0.06x E x+6x

Answer 1

A 1.06x

D x+0.06x

Explanation:

we know that

The price of a movie ticket is x dollars

This amount without including the tax represent the 100%

Remember that

`100\%+6\%=106\%=106/100=1.06`

so

The cost of the ticket, including the tax is equal to the price x multiplied by 1.06

`1.06x`

An equivalent expression is equal to

`1.06x=x+0.06x`
