Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost paid by Lucas = $1,331
Cost of the refrigerator = c
Sales tax on the refrigerator = 8% of c
Charges to deliver refrigerator = $35
[tex]c+8\% \text{of c}+\$35=\$1,331[/tex]
[tex]c+0.08c+\$35=\$1,331[/tex]
[tex]c=\frac{\$1,331 -\$35}{1.08}[/tex]
c = $1200
Amount Sales tax on the refrigerator = 8% of c
[tex]\frac{8}{100}\times \$ 1200=\$96[/tex]
Lucas had paid 96 dollars as a sales tax.
