Explanation:

Given:

Sales tax paid by caleb = $1.60

The sales tax rate = 2.5%.

To Find:

The price of Caleb’s groceries, before tax=?

Solution:

Let the caleb's grocery price before tax be X

Then,

`X*2.5\%=1.60`

`X*(2.5)/(100)=1.60`

`X*2.5=1.60*100`

`X*2.5=160\\`

`X=\frac[160}{2.5}`

x=64
