Answer:

1.09c

Step-by-step explanation:

The clothes cost c before tax.

The tax is 9% of the price of the clothes, or 9% of c.

To find a percent of a number, change the percent to a decimal and multiply by the number.

9% as a decimal is 0.09

9% of c = 9% * c = 0.09c

The amount of tax is 0.09c.

Now we add the amount of tax to the original price, c.

c + 0.09c = 1.09c

Answer: 1.09c
