1a. Connor buys a ticket to see a movie. Which expression in terms of t could be used to show his total cost? (2 points) Responses t + 0.15 t + 0.15 t + (t x 0.15) t + ( t x 0.15) 0.15 - t 0.15 - t t ÷ 0.15

1 answer

To determine Connor's total cost for a movie ticket, we need to consider the ticket price \( t \) and any additional costs, such as tax. If we assume the tax is 15% of the ticket price, we can express this as:

  1. The ticket price is \( t \).
  2. The tax would be \( t \times 0.15 \).

Thus, the total cost \( C \) in terms of \( t \) would be:

\[ C = t + (t \times 0.15) = t + 0.15t \]

Therefore, the correct expression for his total cost is:

t + 0.15.
