A ticket to a movie cost t dollar and there is a 15% tax on each ticket. Write a expressiom that shows the total cost of t
The expression that shows the total cost of t, including the 15% tax, is:
t + (0.15 * t) = t(1 + 0.15) = t(1.15)
can you show it in a way where its easier and makes more sense
Certainly! To calculate the total cost of a ticket with a 15% tax, you can use the following expression:
Total Cost = t + 0.15t
This can be simplified as:
Total Cost = 1.15t
So, the total cost of a ticket with tax is equal to 1.15 times the cost of the ticket (t).
