For each situation, write an expression answering the question. The expression should only use multiplication,
a. A person's salary is $2,500 per month. She receives a 10% raise. What is her new salary,

C. A telephone cost $250. The sales tax is 7.5%. What was the cost of the telephone
including sales tax?

The expressions for each statement are as follows:

a: 2500+(0.10*2500)

b: 40 * 0.85

c: 250 + (0.075*250)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a:

Given

Percentage of raise = 10%

The new salary will be:

Part b:

Given

The required expression for correct answers is:

Part c:

Given

Price of phone = $250

Percentage of sales tax = 7.5%

The required expression is:

Hence,

The expressions for each statement are as follows:

a: 2500+(0.10*2500)

b: 40 * 0.85

c: 250 + (0.075*250)

$9.89

step-by-step explanation:

9.90 = p x .06 x .25 (3/12 changed to a decimal)

9.90 = p x 0.015

9.90 - 0.015 = p

9.89 = p

about 0.75 hours
