Answer 1

Question 1

1a. The expression in terms of \( t \) that could be used to show Connor's total cost, including the amusement tax, is:

t + (t x 0.15)

This is because the total cost is the ticket price plus 15% of the ticket price.

---

1b. To find Connor's total cost including the amusement tax when his ticket costs $12.60, we can use the expression we identified in part a.

1. Calculate 15% of $12.60: \[ 0.15 \times 12.60 = 1.89 \]

2. Add this amount to the original ticket price: \[ 12.60 + 1.89 = 14.49 \]

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