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

Answer 1

To calculate Connor's total cost for a movie ticket that costs \( t \) dollars with a 15% amusement tax, you must first determine the amount of tax added to the ticket price.

The tax amount can be calculated as \( t \times 0.15 \). Thus, the total cost expression would be:

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

So the correct expression in terms of \( t \) that shows his total cost is:

t + (t x 0.15).
