The sale tax on an item is %6. Express the total cost, C, in terms of the price of the item, P. Can someone help me with how to resolve this problem.

Explanation:

The sales tax is 6% of the price P

6% of P = 0.06P

Add on the original cost P to get P+0.06P = (1+0.06)P = 1.06P

The 1.06 indicates the final after tax cost is 106% of the original price.

You can think of it like 100% + 6% = 106% = 1.06

So that's how we end up with C = 1.06P

An example using actual numbers:

Let P = $100 be the initial cost before tax

6% of P = 0.06*P = 0.06*100 = 6 dollars is the tax

100+6 = 106 is the final cost

Note how C = 1.06P = 1.06*100 = 106

hello :

70y^8 + 30y^6 = 2 ( 35 y^8 + 15y^6)

the lenght is : 35 y^8

the width is : 15y^6

on a coordinate grid, point a is at (−4.0, −2.4) and point b is at (4.0, −2.4). point b is a reflection of point a across the –axis. input either a lowercase x or i think is the right awnser
