The expression 0.09x+(x−30) models the final price of a bicycle with an instant rebate in a state that charges a sales tax. The tax is on the original price.

Which expression represents the amount of tax that is paid on the bicycle?

ANSWER

I believe that the amount of the instant rebate is $30.  X represents the price of the bike, and 0.09 is the sales tax.

So if the bike cost $100:

0.09(100) + (100-30) = 9 + 70 = $79

Although I think I would want them to tax the bike after the instant rebate and not on the original price.

If I'm wrong about the instant rebate then it would be 1.09x-30.  Hope this helps.
