To find: It is being asked to find the expression for the tax on the item with price P and asked to find the total price of the item.
Answer to Problem 33P
Expression of the price of the item with tax is
Explanation of Solution
Given information: We are given with when we purchase an item we need to pay tax 12% on sales price. And the variable is given for the price of the item as P.
Calculation:
The price of an item is “P’’.
The tax is 12%.
Tax on price P is
Expression for tax on item with a price P is
Now, let’s find the expression of the item including tax is Price of the item + tax. Which is
Simplify it, it gives

Calculation:
Let’s find tax for the price $75 by plug in P as 75 into expression
So, 75+0.12(75) =75 + 9 =$84
d.
To find: It is being asked to find order of operation helped.
Answer to Problem 33P
Order of operation used is PEMDAS.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The expression
Here the problem having multiplication and addition operation . So, using PEMDAS rule we did multiplication first 0.12 times 75 then added 75 and answer we got from 0.12(75).
