The variable d represents the cost of a customer's meal, in dollar. The following expression represents the amount paid, including tax.
d + 0.18d
F. The cost plus eighteen percent of the cost
G. the cost minus eighteen percent of the cost
H. the cost plus eight percent of the cost
J. The cost plus one hundred eighteen percent of the cost

I think the answer is F.

How much is 21% of 92?. Is this $9?. More than$9?. Less than $9?. Thus, is her calculation of$9 correct and reasonable?.
