The equation \(3\%(p) + p = 1.03p\) represents the situation of calculating the total amount after adding a 3% tax or fee to an initial amount (\(p\)).
Thus, the correct match is:
**D. the amount that Sandy paid for a shirt with 3% tax on p**
This is because \(3\%(p)\) represents the 3% tax on the original price \(p\), and the equation shows the total amount paid after including the tax.
Thus, the correct match is:
**D. the amount that Sandy paid for a shirt with 3% tax on p**
This is because \(3\%(p)\) represents the 3% tax on the original price \(p\), and the equation shows the total amount paid after including the tax.
