Group of answer choices

A. y - 0.82y + 0.08y

B. .08 (y - .18y)

.18y + .08y + y

1.08 ( 0.82y)

Answer 1

The correct expression to determine the final cost of the game is:

Option C: 0.18y + 0.08y + y

This expression represents the original price of the game (y), minus the discount of 18% (0.18y), plus the sales tax of 8% (0.08y).
