Conor buys a ticket to see a movie. Write two expressions in terms of t
showing his total cost.
Let's assume the cost of the movie ticket is $x.
Expression 1: The total cost of Conor's ticket after taxes.
If there is a tax of t% on each ticket, then the expression to calculate the total cost becomes:
Total cost = x + (t/100)*x = x(1 + t/100)
Expression 2: The total cost of Conor's ticket after applying a discount.
If there is a discount of t% on each ticket, then the expression to calculate the total cost becomes:
Total cost = x - (t/100)*x = x(1 - t/100)
