Question

5. Ray wants to buy a hat that costs $10 and some shirts that cost $12 each.

The sales tax rate is 6.5%. The expression 0.065(10 + 12s) can be used
to determine the amount of sales tax that Ray will pay on his entire
purchase. Expand the expression. Lesson 4-4

Answer 1

0.65 + 0.78s

Explanation:

to expand the expression, we want to multiply each term inside of the parentheses by the expression outside the parentheses

Answer 2

0.65 + 0.78s

Explanation:

to expand the expression, we want to multiply each term inside of the parentheses by the expression outside the parentheses

a(b+c) = ab + ac

0.065(10 + 12s)

= 0.065*10 + 0.065 * 12s

= 0.65 + 0.78s
