Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer:

#1) 0.08x; #2) (1+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

#1) 0.08 is read as 8 hundredths.  This can also be written as 8/100.  Percent means out of 100; this means 8/100 is 8%.  This means 0.08x is taking 8% of the original amount; this would represent the sales tax that is paid.

#2) In this problem, x is the percent of markup written in decimal form.  This means that adding 1 to this number gives us 100% plus the percent of markup.  This will give us the percentage of the original price that was paid, since we are paying 100% of the original price plus the markup.
