The store charges a 6% sales tax on Cleo’s total bill. Which expression represents the amount Cleo must pay after taxes?

Florisalreadytaken:

if you would post the option we would pick a better answer for you -- but momentarily since they're not given, the amount Chleo has to pay is \(100\%+6\%\) adding the taxes right? thus the answer would be something that includes ` the amount he has to pay times 106%, or 1.06 `

. The store charges a 6% sales tax on Cleo’s total bill. Which expression represents the amount Cleo must pay after taxes? * A. 3.19x + 1.20y + 1.20z + 1.06 B. 3.19x + 1.20yz + 1.06 C. 1.06(3.19x + 1.20yz) D. 1.06(3.19x + 1.20y + 1.20z)

what is \( x/y/z \) ?? there got to be more to this question

milana:

no?

Florisalreadytaken:

impossible -- there has got to be some information about them maybe in the earlier questions -- please assure to provide that information. for now, this is not complete as it might be either C or D.

milana:

wait.

A store sells four-packs of permanent markers in assorted colors for $3.19 per pack. All spiral-bound notebooks, whether wide-ruled or college-ruled, sell for $1.20 each. Cleo buys x packs of markers, y wide-ruled notebooks, and z college-ruled notebooks.

Florisalreadytaken:

thats better so chleo wants to buy \($3.19x\) ; \($1.20y\) and \($1.20z\) just sum them all together and multiply them by \( 1.06 \) so that would look like: \[ 1.06(%3.19x + %1.20y + %1.20z) \] that would be D, the last option.

milana:

thanks🙃

Florisalreadytaken:

oops latex typo -- it would be: \[ 1.06(\%3.19x + \%1.20y + \%1.20z) ​\] yes?
