Answer 2

Jack has to pay 1.25P in dollars.

Explanation:

The question is which of the following expressions could represent how much Jack pays in total for the pony?

Now, the price of the pony made of diamonds is = P

Jack also has to pay a 25% diamond pony tax = 0.25P

So, total cost of the pony will be :

`P+0.25P` or we can also write as
`P(1+0.25)` = 1.25P

So, Jack has to pay 1.25P in dollars.
