Connor's total cost of his movie ticket including the amusement tax is Response area.

Answer 1

1a. The expression that could be used to show Connor's total cost in terms of \( t \) is:

t + (t x 0.15)

This represents the ticket price plus the 15% tax on the ticket.

1b. If Connor's movie ticket costs $12.60, we can use the expression from part a to find his total cost, which can be calculated as follows:

1. First, calculate the amusement tax: \[ \text{Tax} = 0.15 \times 12.60 = 1.89 \]

2. Now, add the tax to the ticket price: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 12.60 + 1.89 = 14.49 \]

Thus, Connor's total cost of his movie ticket including the amusement tax is $14.49.
