Respuesta :
we have that
the expression to find the total cost is equal to
[tex]1.18(16)[/tex]
we know that
[tex]1.18=(1+0.18)[/tex]
substitute in the expression above
[tex]1.18(16)=(1+0.18)16[/tex]
Applying property distributive
[tex](1+0.18)16=(1)*16+(0.18)*16=16+0.18*(16)[/tex]
therefore
the answer is the option
[tex]16+0.18(16)[/tex]
