Match the following equation to the correct situation.

Question

7%(p) + p = 1.07p
A.
the amount that Juanita owed after paying a 7% deposit on p

B.
the amount that Cindy paid for books was 7% of p

C.
the amount given to a charity after saving 7% of p

D.
the amount that Sandy paid for a shirt with 7% tax on p

Answer 1

The equation \( 7%(p) + p = 1.07p \) represents the total amount paid after adding a 7% tax or fee to the original amount \( p \).

Thus, the correct situation that matches this equation is:

D. the amount that Sandy paid for a shirt with 7% tax on p.

In this case, \( 7%(p) \) represents the tax added to the original price \( p \), resulting in a total of \( 1.07p \).
