is x dollars, and he also has to pay a 13% monster truck
tax.
Which of the following expressions could represent how
much Camacho pays in total for the truck?

Answer 1

Total cost = a + (13a/100)

Explanation:

Let the price of the monster truck be 'a'

He should pay 13% tax

Total cost = price of the truck + tax

Total cost = a + (13a/100)

The equation to represent the total cost is

Total cost= a + (13a/100)
