The total cost after tax to repair Deborah's computer is represented by 0.09(60h)+60h, where h represents the number of hours it takes to repair Deborah's computer. What part of the expression represents the amount of tax Deborah has to pay? Explain.

0.09(60h)

Step-by-step explanation:

The part that represents the tax is 0.09.

This is because, we can rewrite the sum as;

Amount of tax + Total cost for the number of hours

Now, the amount of tax can only be a percentage of the total

We can write 0.09 as 9/100

This can be interpreted as 9% of the total amount

So therefore we can rewrite the amount as;

9% of 60h + 60h

So the part that represents the amount of tax Deborah has to pay is 0.09(60h)
