From the given expression it seems that the hourly rate is 75 and the tax is 9%
So, the total cost is 75h + 9% of 75h = 75h + (9/100) (75h)
                              = 75h + (0.09)75h
                              = (0.09)75h + 75h
So, the amount of tax that Mrs. Bull has to pay is (0.09)75h = 6.75.
