Answer 1

Answer:

0.08(50h)

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of tax payable over a particular object or goods is always represented as a particular percentage of the total cost of buying or repairing an object.

From the above question we are given the expression,

0.08(50h) + 50h = Total amount Deborah is paying to repair her computer

Note that: Total amount payable by Deborah = Cost (Price or amount) of fixing the computer + Tax

h = number of hours required to repair the computer.

Hence, the Cost (amount) to repair the computer = 50 × h = 50h

In the expression, we have

0.08(50h) = 8% of 50h

Tax is always represented as percentage of the cost of fixing the computer

Hence, 0.08 or 8% of 50 h equal to = 0.08(50h) = The tax Deborah is paying.

Therefore, the expression repesents the amount of tax Deborah has to pay is 0.08(50h)
