To find the total amount, we can substitute t = 12.50 into the expression above:

Total Amount = 12.50 + 0.13 * 12.50
= 12.50 + 1.625
= 14.125

Therefore, the total amount is $14.125.

Apologies for the confusion.

0.13 is the decimal equivalent of the sales tax rate. In many places, sales tax is expressed as a percentage. To calculate the tax amount, we multiply the ticket price by the sales tax rate in decimal form.

In this case, if the sales tax rate is 13%, we express it as 0.13. So substituting t = 12.50 and tax rate = 0.13 into the expression:

Total Amount = 12.50 + 0.13 * 12.50
= 12.50 + 1.625
= 14.125

Therefore, the total amount is $14.125.

If the sales tax rate is different, you would substitute that rate into the expression accordingly.

Certainly! Here's a shorter version of the work:

Total Amount = t + (0.13 * t)
= t * (1 + 0.13)
= t * 1.13

Substituting t = 12.50 into the expression:

Total Amount = 12.50 * 1.13
= 14.125

Therefore, the total amount is $14.125.
