Answer: C: $98*(0.06 + 0.18)

Step-by-step explanation:

Always when we have a percentage X% of charge of an amount of money, suppose $100.

The actual cost will be:

(x)*$100 = C.

Where x is the decimal representation of X%:

x = (X%/100%)

In this case, we have two additional charges:

One of 18% and another of 6%.

First we can write them in decimal form:

18%/100% = 0.18

6%/100% = 0.06.

If the price without tax is $98, then the price with the charges will be:

P = (0.18 + 0.06)*$98

The correct option is C.
