Please help me :’( a tax is a restaurant charge based on a percentage of each meal price. The expression shown represents the tax on a meal price, p.

“0.06p”

Create and expression, in terms of p, to represent the total amount the restaurant charges for a meal, including tax.

you probably already have the answer but anyways it's b. 15.0

step-by-step explanation:

this is a direct variation proportion. y = kx

y is the total amount due, k is the constant of variation, and x is the number of texts sent.

plug in the 3.20 and the 16 to solve for the "k". this is the constant of proportionality. it is the value that will not change.

3.20 = k(16). solving you get $.20 per text.

the equation would then be y = .20x
