A) 0.11x
B) 1.1x
C) 11x
D) 1.11x

Answer 1

1.11x

Explanation:

0.11x+x=1.11x

Answer 2

D)
`1.11x`

Explanation:

Given pair of sunglasses cost
`x` dollars.

Now,

Increase the price of the sunglasses by
`11 \%`

`11\% \ of\ x= (11)/(100) x= 0.11x`

Price of sunglasses increased by
`11 \%`

So, we will add
`11 \%` to
`x`

That yields
`11\% \ of\ x+ x\\=0.11x+x\\=1.11x`

`Expression`
`x+0.11(x)\ and\ 1.11x \ are\ same`
