Question

David’s watch broke. He decides to get it fixed instead of replacing it. The total cost to repair the watch can be represented by 0.07(45h) + 45h, where h represents the number of hours it takes to repair the watch. What part of the expression represents the amount of tax David has to pay? Explain.

Answer 1

0.07

45h represents how much it costs per hour to get it fixed and how long it takes to get it fixed
0.07(45h) would represent the tax because it is 7% of the cost pretax
