To calculate the total cost of Conor's movie ticket including the amusement tax, we can write two expressions in terms of "t."

  1. Expression for the amusement tax: The amusement tax is 15% of the ticket price \( t \). Therefore, the tax amount can be expressed as: \[ 0.15t \]

  2. Expression for the total cost: The total cost of the ticket including the tax can be expressed as the sum of the ticket price and the tax amount: \[ t + 0.15t \]

Alternatively, we can also express the total cost as a single expression using the factor of \( t \): \[ 1.15t \]

So, the two expressions in terms of "t" showing Conor's total cost are:

  1. \( t + 0.15t \)
  2. \( 1.15t \)
