Review (Appendix A and Ch. Find the tax owed on a purchase of \( \$ 157.29 \) if the state sales tax rate is \( 8 \% \). Determine the expression that represents the tax owed. A. \( 157.29+0.08(157.29) \) B. \( 157.29+8 \) C. \( 157.29-0,08(157.29) \) D. \( 0.08(157.29) \) E. \( 157.29-0.08 \) F. \( 8(157.29) \) The sales tax owed is \( \$ \square \). (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)

To find the tax owed on the purchase of \( \$157.29 \) with a sales tax rate of \( 8\% \), we can use the expression \( 0.08(157.29) \). This represents 8% of the purchase price. Calculating that, we have: Tax Owed = \( 0.08 \times 157.29 = 12.5832 \) Rounding to the nearest cent, the sales tax owed is \( \$12.58 \). So, the correct expression for the tax owed is option D: \( 0.08(157.29) \). The total tax owed on the purchase is \( \$12.58 \).
