We are given an expression : 1.08(x-5).

Given that sales tax = 8%

And a discount coupon = $5.

The variable x represents the amount of the purchase before the sales tax and the coupon is applied.

So, the cost after applying coupon of $5 in original cost $x would be (x-5).

<h3>Therefore,  (x-5) represent D) the total charge before applying sales tax.</h3>
