The sales tax in one state is 7%. Write a function rule for finding the total cost of an item with selling price x. Then find the total cost of a CD player with a selling price of $150. Please help!!

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

Total cost = (selling price x) plus (the tax rate times the selling price). Can you write the formula for that?

OpenStudy (icalibear):

Is it f(x) = 0.07x?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

Close. The term (0.07x) accounts for how much sales tax you would pay. The total cost would be the price plus the sales tax.

OpenStudy (icalibear):

So how would I write that

OpenStudy (icalibear):

f(x) = 7 + x?
