Explanation:

Make an equation first.

29.51=1.07 (x)

The 29.51 is after the 7% sale tax, so we are trying to figure out the original price.

After you make the equation, you solve the 1 step equation.

Divide both sides by 1.07 to get the answer.

27.57944=x

So you woyld want to round this answer to get $27.58
