Question

Dalia buys a winter jacket at a used clothing store that costs $30.

Answer 1

Given:

Cost of Jacket = $30

Tax rate = 6% = 0.06

Let's write an equation that represents the total cost, c, of any item bought in Idaho at a price, p.

To write the equation, apply the formula:

$y=a(1+r)$

Where:

a is the cost of the item

r is the tax rate

y is the total cost.

Thus, to write the equation which represents the total cost, we have:

$c=p(1+0.06)$

Therefore, the equation is:

$c=p(1+0.06)$

ANSWER:

$c=p(1+0.06)$
