Answer:

Total cost = $a + 0.06a

Total cost = a(1 + 0.06)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cost of item = $a

Sales tax = 6%

Total cost = cost of item + sales tax

Total cost = $a + (6% of a)

Equation 1:

Total cost = $a + 0.06a

Equation 2:

Total cost = $a + 0.06a

Total cost = a(1 + 0.06)
