To calculate the total price of the video game including sales tax, we can start with the price of the video game, denoted as \( p \) dollars and cents. The sales tax is 6%, which means we can represent this as a decimal by converting 6% to 0.06.
To find the total price after including sales tax, we can use the following steps:
1. Calculate the sales tax amount: \( 0.06p \).
2. Add the sales tax to the original price: \( p + 0.06p \).
This can be simplified further:
\[
p + 0.06p = (1 + 0.06)p = 1.06p
\]
Therefore, the expression that represents the total price plus tax is:
\[
1.06p
\]
