(Choice A) (1+0.13)x

(Choice B) 13/100 x

(Choice C) 14x

(Choice D) 1.13x

(Choice E) 13x+x

Answer 1

Hi Atiya,

Since the price of the truck is represented with the variable , x, the amount of tax owed would be 0.13x

The total cost will be the price of the truck plus the tax or: x + 0.13x

This is equivalent to Choice A and Choice D.
