Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 7(s + c)

= 7s + 7c

B. The cost of a science fiction novel is $5.99 and the cost of a comic book is $6.49. Sales tax is 6%. The total amount that Julio spent at the bookstore would be calculated as:

= 7s + 7c

= 7($5.99) + 7($6.49)

= $41.93 + $45.43

= $87.36

We then add tax which will then be:

= $87.36 + (6% × $87.36)

= $87.36 + (0.06 × $87.36)

= $87.36 + $5.24

= $92.60
