It would be $39.50 (which is the cost of the jeans without tax) plus p percent of 39.50. In equation form, that would be <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=+39.50+%2B+39.50p+ ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"+39.50+%2B+39.50p+\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. If we knew the percentage, we can actually figure out the price with tax. Since it wasn't given, we'll have to leave it at <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=+39.50+%2B+39.50p+ ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"+39.50+%2B+39.50p+\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >. </SPAN>\n" );
