Answer 1

1.65 + 0.09s

Explanation:

Given that :

Cost of speaker = $22

Cost per song = $1.25

Sales tax rate = 7.5%

Expression to obtain the amount of sales tax on entire purchase : 0.075(22 + 1.25s)

Expanding the expression :

0.075(22 + 1.25s)

(0.075 * 22) + (0.075 * 1.25s)

1.65 + 0.09375s

Rounding to the nearest hundredth :

Sales tax on entire purchase :

1.65 + 0.09s
