Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The total cost of the phone and battery recharger before tax is: 
$112 + $38 = $150

To find the total cost including the 9% sales tax, we need to add 9% of the total cost to the original total cost:

9% of $150 = ($150)(0.09) = $13.50

Total cost including sales tax = $150 + $13.50 = $163.50

Therefore, the best choice is D. The total cost of the phone and battery recharger is $150 ($112 + $38). 
The sales tax rate is 9%, which means the tax amount is 0.09 x $150 = $13.50. 
Therefore, the total price with tax is $163.50 (Price + Tax).
