Rob is shopping for school supplies. He needs to buy a calculator for $11.99. He also wants to buy some binders, but he hasn't decided how many yet. Binders cost $2.49 each, and Rob will also have to pay sales tax of 6% on his entire purchase.

If Rob buys a calculator and x binders, which function describes the total amount of money he will spend?

The total amount of money Rob will spend can be described by the function: f(x) = 11.99 + 2.49x + 0.06(11.99 + 2.49x) = 11.99 + 2.49x + 0.7194 + 0.1494x = 12.7094 + 2.6394x
