Answer 2

$1.46

Explanation:

To find the original price of the game, write a proportion. $1.54 is the amount after a 5.5% tax rate. This means he paid 105.5% on the original price.

`(1.54)/(y)=(105.5)/(100)`

Find y by cross multiplying numerator and denominator of each fraction.

1.54(100) = 105.5y

154 = 105.5y

1.46 = y
