Answer:

The expression representing the Total Cost of the item is  [tex]P + 0.07P[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Price of Certain item = 'P' dollars

Sales tax =7%

We need to find the expression for Total Cost of the item when tax is applied.

we will first find the Amount deducted in tax;

Amount deducted in Tax is equal to Percentage of sales tax multiplied by Price of Certain item and then divide by 100

Framing in equation form we get;

Amount Deducted in Tax  = [tex]\frac{7}{100}\times P = 0.07P[/tex]

Now Total Cost of the item is equal to sum of Price of Certain item and Amount deducted in tax.

Expressing in expression form we get;

Total Cost of item = [tex]P + 0.07P[/tex]

Hence The expression representing the Total Cost of the item is  [tex]P + 0.07P[/tex].
