You buy a new laptop for $299.99$299.99. the sales tax is 6%6%. what is the total cost for the laptop including the sales tax?

The price of the laptop = $299.99

Given, sales tax = 6%

To find the amount for sales tax we have to find 6% of $299.99.

So the amount of sales tax =

6% of $299.99 = 299.99×(6/100) = (299.99×6)/100

= 1799.94/100 = 17.9994

So we have got sales tax = $17.9994

Therefore, the total cost for laptop including sales tax is selling price of laptop + sales tax.

Total cost for laptop = $299.99+$17.9994 = $317.9894

We have got the required answer.

Total cost for laptop is $317.9894

let's add {f(x)=x+1}f(x)=x+1 and {g(x)=2x}g(x)=2x together to make a new function.

f(x)+g(x) =(x+1)+(2x)=x+1+2x=3x+1

let's call this new function hh. so we have:

{h(x)}={f(x)}+{g(x)}{=3x+1}h(x)=f(x)+g(x)=3x+1

we can also evaluate combined functions for particular inputs. let's evaluate function hh above for x=2x=2. below are two ways of doing this.

method 1: substitute x=2x=2 into the combined function hh.

h(x)

h(2)

​    

=3x+1

=3(2)+1

=7

​ since h(x)=f(x)+g(x)h(x)=f(x)+g(x), we can also find h(2)h(2) by finding f(2) +g(2)f(2)+g(2).

first, let's find f(2)f(2):

f(x)

f(2)

​    

=x+1

=2+1

=3

​  

now, let's find g(2)g(2):

g(x)

g(2)

​    

=2x

=2⋅2

=4

​  

so f(2)+g(2)=3+4=\greend7f(2)+g(2)=3+4=7.

notice that substituting x =2x=2 directly into function hh and finding f(2) + g(2)f(2)+g(2) gave us the same answer!
