Jose bought f folders that cost $0.35 each and m markers that cost $0.25 each. Sales tax is 9%. Which expression represents the total amount Jose paid, including tax?1.09(f+m)0.35(0.09f)+0.25(0.09m)(0.35f+0.25m)+0.09(0.35f+0.25m)1.09(0.35+0.25)
Q. Jose bought f folders that cost $0.35 each and m markers that cost $0.25 each. Sales tax is 9%. Which expression represents the total amount Jose paid, including tax?1.09(f+m)0.35(0.09f)+0.25(0.09m)(0.35f+0.25m)+0.09(0.35f+0.25m)1.09(0.35+0.25)
Calculate Folder Cost: First, we need to calculate the total cost of the folders without tax. Since each folder costs $0.35 and Jose bought f folders, the total cost for folders is 0.35f.
Calculate Marker Cost: Next, we calculate the total cost of the markers without tax. Each marker costs $0.25 and Jose bought m markers, so the total cost for markers is 0.25m.
Calculate Total Cost: Now, we add the total costs of folders and markers to get the total cost before tax. This is (0.35f+0.25m).
Calculate Total Cost with Tax: Sales tax is 9%, which is 0.09 in decimal form. To find the total cost including tax, we multiply the total cost before tax by 1 plus the tax rate. The expression for this is (1+0.09)(0.35f+0.25m).
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by distributing the tax rate. This gives us (1.09)(0.35f+0.25m), which is the total cost including tax.
