Answer 1

Answer:$64 BEFORE TAX

Step-by-step explanation: Pretax price:$62.14

Sales tax:$1.86

Total price with sales tax:$64.00

Answer 2

$64

Explanation:

We know that an item which is priced at $80 has a sale of 20% and there is a 3% sales tax on it.

We are to find its price before the sales tax is added.

There is a 20% off which means the price will be (100 - 20 =) 80% of $80.

80% of $80 = 80/100 * 80 = $64

Therefore, the price of the item before the sales tax is $64.
