[tex]Expression = 1.18x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent their goal with x

Additional = 18%

Required

Write two expressions to describe the total percentage

The expression is derived using:

[tex]Expression = Goal + Additional[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Expression = x + 18\% * x[/tex]

[tex]Expression = x + 18x\%[/tex]

Solving further (Express percentage as decimal)

[tex]Expression = x + 0.18x[/tex]

[tex]Expression = 1.18x[/tex]
