The equation to represent the relationship between the original cost of the meal and the cost after the sales tax is y = 1.066x

How to calculate the sales tax?

The sales tax is the amount charged on the price of goods and services.

Let x be the original cost for the meal

Let y be the cost after the sales

If the sales tax rate in Tyler's county is 6.6%, the tax charged is expressed as:

0.066 of theoriginal cost
0.066x

Cost after tax = original cost + tax
Cost after tax = x + 0.066x
y = 1.066x

Hence the equation to represent the relationship between the original cost of the meal and the cost after the sales tax is y = 1.066x
