Answer 2

Answer: $ 81.09

Explanation:

Given : The equation below, C represents the cost of an item for an employee including tax and x represents the original price of the item :

`C = 0.765x + 0.06(0.765x)` (1)

The price of the coat before the discount is $100.

Then, the total amount Chris will pay for the coat will be (Put x=100 in (1)) :-

`C = 0.765(100) + 0.06(0.765(100))\\\\=76.5+4.59=81.09`

Hence, the amount Chris will pay for the coat = $ 81.09
