Answer 1

Question 1

1a. To find the total cost of Connor's movie ticket including the 15% amusement tax, we first calculate the tax amount by multiplying the ticket price \( t \) by 0.15. We then add that tax amount to the original ticket price. Therefore, the expression in terms of \( t \) that represents his total cost is:

Response: \( t + (t \times 0.15) \)

---

1b. If Connor's movie ticket costs $12.60, we can substitute \( t = 12.60 \) into the total cost expression from part a:

1. Calculate the tax: \[ \text{Tax} = 12.60 \times 0.15 = 1.89 \]

2. Add the tax to the original ticket price: \[ \text{Total Cost} = 12.60 + 1.89 = 14.49 \]

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

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