Raphael purchases a new DVD at M-Mart. He pays 8% in tax on the cost of the DVD. If the tax
amount is $1.20, how much does Raphael
spend on the DVD, including tax?

The amount Raphael spend on DVD including tax is $16.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Tax on DVD = 8%

Amount of tax = $1.20

We need to find the amount Raphael spend on DVD including tax.

Let the cost of DVD = x

We can write the equation:

Because the tax amount is 8% of actual cost and is equal to 1.20

Now solving to find x:

So, the cost of DVD = $15

Now, The amount Raphael spend on DVD including tax = Cost of DVD + Tax

The amount Raphael spend on DVD including tax = 15 + 1.2

                                                                                    = 16.2

So, The amount Raphael spend on DVD including tax is $16.2

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
