Answer 1

Answer:

C. $1.18b$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi! Ace here!

In order to do this, we have to convert 18% into a decimal.

The decimal form of it is .18.

So we have to do

$b+.18b$

Combine like terms:

$1.18b$

I hope this helped

Answer 2

Answer:

1.18b

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: percentage = decimal × 100

total = b + 18% x b

Factor out b:

total = b x (1 + 18%) = b x (1 + 0.18)

total = b x 1.18 = 1.18b
