Answer:

2S + 0.065(2S)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since S is the price of a shirt, the price of two shirts would be 2 x S = 2S

a tax is a compulsory sum levied on goods and services. tax increases the price of a good

The price of the 2 shirts would increase by the amount of tax ; 0.065(2S)

This gives = 2S + 0.065(2S)

Alternatively, since two shirts were purchased, the amount of tax would be twice 0.065 - 0.13 - S + S + 0.13S

We want to write two expressions that represent the total cost of the shirts, the expressions are:

Cost = P*(1.065) +  P*(1.065)

cost = P*2.13

We know that Benita buys two shirts for the same price, P.

Then at this moment. the total cost is just:

cost = 2*P

Now we apply a 6.5% tax, then the price increases by 6.5%, this is written as:

P' = P*(1 + 6.5%/100%) = P*(1.065)

Then the total cost is twice that amount, written as:

Cost = P*(1.065) +  P*(1.065)

This can be one of the two expressions.

Now to get the other expression, we just simplify the above one:

cost = 2*P*(1.065) = P*2.13
