Question

The expression 0.07x+(x−300) models the final price of a television set with an instant rebate in a state that charges a sales tax. Enter the expression in the box that represents the price of the television set after the instant rebate is applied and before the tax is applied. $

Answer 1

0.07x+(x-300)
0.07x+x-300
1.07x-30

Answer 2

Answer:

x-300

Step-by-step explanation:

The variable x represents the original price of the television set.  0.07x is the expression that represents the amount of tax on the purchase (0.07 is the decimal form of 7%).

x-300 represents the original cost of the television subtracted by 300; this would be the amount of the television after the rebate.
