Question

Anton bought a picnic cooler. His total bill, with tax, was $7.95. He paid 6% sales tax. Solve for the amount he paid for the cooler alone without the tax.

Answer 1

based on the question we now that

Cooler price + Cooler price x 6 % = $ 7.95

Let's tag cooler price as y ,

y + 0.06 y = $ 7.95

1.06 y = $ 7.95

y = $ 7.95/1.06

= $ 7.5

Hope this helps
