A ticket to a movie costs t dollars, and there is a 15% amusement tax on each ticket. a. Conor buys a ticket to see a movie. Write two expressions in terms of t showing his total cost.
Let's call the total cost of Conor's ticket "C".
Expression 1: The cost of the ticket without tax is simply t, as mentioned in the problem.
Expression 2: To calculate the total cost including the 15% amusement tax, we need to add the tax amount to the cost of the ticket. The tax amount is 15% of t, which can be expressed as 0.15t. So, the total cost including tax is t + 0.15t.
Therefore, the two expressions are:
Expression 1: C = t
Expression 2: C = t + 0.15t
