s + (answer)

Answer 2

Answer: An algebraic expression to model this is 1.05s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a pair of shoes be 's'.

Rate of sales tax = 5%

So, amount of sales tax would be

$\dfrac{5}{100}\times x\\\\=0.05\times s\\\\=0.05s$

Price of a pair of shoes after sales tax would be

$s+0.05s\\\\=1.05s$
