Answer 1

we are given

The total cost after tax to repair Kimber's cracked phone screen is represented by 0.04(30h) + 30h

where

h represents the number of hours it takes to repair kimber's phone

so,

$C=0.04(30h)+30h$

we know that

tax will always be some percentage of the entire cost

Here , we have 0.04(30h) ...which means 0.04 of 30h

and 30h is already given

so, 0.04(30h) is 4% of 30h

so, this term must be tax

the expression represents the amount of tax she must pay is 0.04(30h).......Answer
