Each month, a local bakery pays $0.75 per square foot to lease 500 square feet of space in a building. the bakery must also pay a 2.5% of the total sales to cover the security of the building. write an equation that could be used to find c, the total cost of the lease for a month with a total amount of sales of d dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

'C' represent total cost of lease. 'd' represents cost of sales in dollars.

Cost of 1 square foot of building = $0.75

Total area of the building = 500 square feet.

Sales tax on the total sales = 2.5%

Now, cost of 500 square feet area = Cost of 1 square foot × Total area

Cost of 500 square feet area =

Now, sales tax is 2.5 of total sales 'd'. This gives,

Sales tax =

Now, total cost is the sum of least amount and total sales tax.

Total cost = Least amount + Sales tax

⇒

5050

hope this !
