Question

The total cost of a dress,including tax, was $121.37. If 6% tax was added to the sale price, what was the sale price before taxes?

Answer 1

We have

sale price + 6% x sale price = $121.37;

Then

(106/100) x sale price = $121.37;

sale price = $121.37 x 100 / 106;

sale price = $12137 / 106;

sale price = $114.50;
