the regular price of a pizza is p dollars. an 8% sale tax applied to the price of the pizza.

Question

select two expressions that represent the price, in dollars, of the pizza, including tax.

A. p + 0.08p

B. p + 0.08

C. 1.08p

D. p + 8

E. 0.08

F. 8

Answer 1

To calculate the total price of the pizza including an 8% sales tax, you can represent it in two different ways:

1. The sales tax on the pizza is 8% of the regular price \( p \), which is \( 0.08p \).
2. Therefore, the total price including tax can be expressed as the regular price \( p \) plus the sales tax \( 0.08p \), which gives the expression \( p + 0.08p \).

Additionally, you can also calculate the total price with a single expression by factoring \( p \):

• \( p + 0.08p = 1p + 0.08p = 1.08p \).

So, the two correct expressions that represent the price of the pizza, including tax, are:

A. \( p + 0.08p \) and C. \( 1.08p \).
