Match the following equation to the correct situation.

Question

3%(p) + p = 1.03p
A.
the amount given to a charity after saving 3% of p

B.
the amount that Cindy paid for books was 3% of p

C.
the amount that Juanita owed after paying a 3% deposit on p

D.
the amount that Sandy paid for a shirt with 3% tax on p

Answer 1

The equation \(3%(p) + p = 1.03p\) represents the situation of calculating the total amount after adding a 3% tax or fee to an initial amount (\(p\)).

Thus, the correct match is:

D. the amount that Sandy paid for a shirt with 3% tax on p

This is because \(3%(p)\) represents the 3% tax on the original price \(p\), and the equation shows the total amount paid after including the tax.
