The right answer is Option D: [tex]C = 0.85p + (0.08)0.85p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Discount = 15% off

Sales tax = 8%

Total cost of an item = C

Original price of item = p

Amount of discount = [tex]\frac{15}{100}p = 0.15p[/tex]

Price of item after discount = Original price - Amount of discount

Price of item after discount = p - 0.15p = 0.85p

Sales tax = 8% of price after discount

Sales tax = [tex]\frac{8}{100}*0.85p=(0.08)(0.85p)[/tex]

Price of item after sales tax = Price after discount + Sales tax

[tex]C = 0.85p + (0.08)0.85p[/tex]

[tex]C = 0.85p + (0.08)0.85p[/tex] determines the cost of item after discount and sales tax.

The right answer is Option D: [tex]C = 0.85p + (0.08)0.85p[/tex]
