It might be k, since 4-4 is 0 and 0 has no absolute value.
Answer: d + 0.055d or 1.055d
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of item = d
Sales tax percent = 5.5%
Total cost = Cost of item + Sales tax
= d + (5.5% × d)
= d + (5.5/100 × d)
= d + (0.055 × d)
= d + 0.055d
= 1.055d
Therefore, the expression that represents the total cost of the item, in dollars and cents, after tax will be:
d + 0.055d or 1.055d.
A unit rate means for one, so in this case they mean for one pound of the horse feed which brand sells the highest. You would divide the cost into the number of pounds for each brand. Now, compare all the brands and see which one is highest.
