Francesca bought a dress to wear to a wedding. The sales tax for the dress is 6%. She also paid $35, which was not taxed, to have the dress altered. If Francesca paid the store a total of $126.16, which equation can be solved to determine the price of the dress?
A. d+1.06d+35=12.6 ***
B.1.06(d+35)=126.16
C.0.006(d+35)=126.16
D.d+0.06d+35=126.16
d + 0.06d + 35 = 126.16.
Thank you all so much! I'm not really good math :)
dress plus tax plus alterations equals total paid ... see that anywhere?
To determine the price of the dress, we need to set up an equation. Let's assume the price of the dress is "d".
First, we need to add the 6% sales tax to the price of the dress. To calculate this, we multiply the price of the dress by 1.06, since 6% is equivalent to 0.06 in decimal form. So, the price of the dress with the sales tax is 1.06d.
Next, we need to add the $35 that Francesca paid to have the dress altered.
The total amount Francesca paid is given as $126.16, so the equation can be set up as follows:
d + 1.06d + 35 = 126.16
Therefore, the correct equation is option A: d + 1.06d + 35 = 126.16
