Answer 1

To find the total amount Mohal paid, including sales tax, we need to calculate the total cost of the folders and markers, then apply the sales tax to that total.

1. The cost of the folders, given they are $0.95 each, for \( f \) folders is: \[ 0.95f \]

2. The cost of the markers, given they are $0.55 each, for \( m \) markers is: \[ 0.55m \]

3. The total cost before tax is: \[ 0.95f + 0.55m \]

4. To calculate the total amount including the 3.75% sales tax, we multiply the total cost (before tax) by \( 1 + \text{sales tax rate} \): \[ \text{Total with tax} = (0.95f + 0.55m) \times 1.0375 \]

Therefore, the expression representing the total amount Mohal paid, including tax, is: \[ 1.0375(0.95f + 0.55m) \]

Now looking through the multiple-choice options you've provided, the correct choice is: \[ 0.0375(0.95f + 0.55m) + (0.95f + 0.55m) \] since it simplifies to the same expression as we derived.

However, since this choice isn't specifically expressed, the most straightforward option that captures the total cost and tax together is: \[ 1.0375(0.95f + 0.55m) \]

So your final answer would likely be the 3rd choice provided, assuming it properly expresses the correct multiplication and sum for the total including tax: \[ 1.0375(0.95f + 0.55m) \]
