Answer 1

Question 1

1a. The correct expression to show Connor's total cost in terms of t, including the 15% amusement tax, is:

t + (t x 0.15)

Question 2

1b. If Connor's movie ticket costs $12.60, we can use the expression from part a to calculate his total cost, which includes the amusement tax.

1. First, find the amount of the tax:

   • Amusement Tax = \( 0.15 \times t \)
   • Amusement Tax = \( 0.15 \times 12.60 = 1.89 \)

2. Now, add the original ticket price and the tax:

   • Total Cost = \( t + \text{Tax} \)
   • Total Cost = \( 12.60 + 1.89 = 14.49 \)

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