Question

A store sells four-packs of permanent markers in assorted colors for $3.19 per pack. All spiral-bound notebooks, whether wide-ruled or college-ruled, sell for $1.20 each. Cleo buys x packs of markers, y wide-ruled notebooks, and z college-ruled notebooks. The store charges a 6% sales tax on Cleo’s total bill. Which expression represents the amount Cleo must pay after taxes?

Answer 1

Answer: (x3.19+y1.20 + z1.20) x 1.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an expression.

Four-packs of permanent markers in assorted colors for $3.19 per pack.

3.19 x (x number of packs purchased)

spiral-bound notebooks, whether wide-ruled or college-ruled, sell for $1.20 each

1.20 y + 1.20 z (y wide-ruled notebooks, and z college-ruled notebooks)

The store charges a 6% sales tax on Cleo’s total bill, so we have to multiply the expression by 1+ 0.06 ( 1+ tax percentage in decimal form)

(x3.19+y1.20 + z1.20) x 1.06
