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 = 126.16
B. 1.06(d + 35) = 126.16
C. 0.06(d + 35) = 126.16
D. d + 0.06d + 35 = 126.16
your answer paid for the dress twice...
dress + tax + 35 = ?
So D then? And thank you for the help
Is it D? Can you respond if it is A or D
th3 answer is D,
d+0.06d+35=126.16
To determine the price of the dress, we can set up an equation using the given information. Let's assume the price of the dress is represented by 'd'.
First, we know that the sales tax for the dress is 6%. This means that the price of the dress, with tax included, is 106% or 1.06 times the original price. Therefore, the equation should include 1.06d.
Next, Francesca also paid $35 to have the dress altered, which was not taxed. So, we need to add $35 to the price of the dress.
Now, we know that Francesca paid a total of $126.16 to the store. Therefore, our equation should represent the total amount paid, which is 126.16.
Based on these considerations, we can examine the given answer choices:
A. d + 1.06d + 35 = 126.16: This equation includes the correct representation of the price of the dress with tax (1.06d), and it adds the alteration cost ($35) correctly. It also represents the total amount paid to the store (126.16). This equation is a valid representation and can be solved.
B. 1.06(d + 35) = 126.16: This equation multiplies the sum of the price of the dress and the alteration cost by 1.06, representing the total amount paid to the store. However, this equation does not separate the price of the dress from the alteration cost, which is necessary for determining the price of the dress itself. This equation is not appropriate.
C. 0.06(d + 35) = 126.16: This equation represents the tax amount (0.06) multiplied by the sum of the price of the dress and the alteration cost. However, it does not include the original price of the dress (d). This equation is not appropriate.
D. d + 0.06d + 35 = 126.16: This equation separates the price of the dress (d) from the alteration cost ($35). It also adds the tax amount correctly (0.06d). However, it does not represent the total amount paid to the store (126.16). This equation is not appropriate.
Therefore, the correct equation that can be solved to determine the price of the dress is option A:
d + 1.06d + 35 = 126.16.
