Answer 2

Cost of the computer before taxes is $1299.

Explanation:

Let the price of the computer before taxes is = $x

Tax rate on this computer = 7%

Therefore, computer cost including tax = (x + 7% of x)

=
`x+(7x)/(100)`

= x + 0.07x

= $(1.07x)

Cost of the computer including tax is given as $1389.93.

Therefore, 1389.93 = 1.07x

x =
`(1389.93)/(1.07)`

= $1299

Cost of the computer before taxes is $1299.
