Which expression can also be used to represent the total cost of the shirt, including a sales tax of 5%? (1 point) Responses d+0.05d d plus 0 point 0 5 d d−0.05d d minus 0 point 0 5 d d+1.05d d plus 1 point 0 5 d d−1.05d

1 answer

To represent the total cost of the shirt, including a sales tax of 5%, you can express the original cost \(d\) plus the additional 5% of \(d\). This can be calculated as follows:

  1. The sales tax is \(0.05d\).
  2. Therefore, the total cost is \(d + 0.05d\).

This simplifies to \(1.05d\), which is the original expression you provided.

The correct expression that can also be used to represent the total cost is:

d + 0.05d.
