Calculate Sales Tax: To find the total price including tax, we need to add the sales tax to the original price. The sales tax is 3% of the original price, which is represented by 0.03×p. Calculation: 0.03×p
Add Sales Tax to Original Price: To get the total price including the sales tax, we add the original price to the sales tax amount. This is represented by p+(0.03×p).Calculation: p+0.03p
Simplify Total Price Calculation: We can factor out the p to simplify the expression. This gives us p(1+0.03), which simplifies to 1.03p.Calculation: p(1+0.03)=1.03p
