Question

How do I find the original price of an item from the tax rate and tax price?

Answer 1

`\boxed{\text{\$11 500}}`

Explanation:

$1437.50 = 12.5 % of price

`\text{Price} = \text{100 \%} * \frac{\text{\$1437.50}}{\text{12.5 \%}} = \text \$11 500}`

The price of the motorcycle before tax was
`\boxed{\textbf{\$11 500}}`
