Question

Jill paid a sales tax of $1.40 when she bought a vest. What was price of vest not including tax? Sales tax = 3.5%

Answer 1

$40

Explanation:

Tax is a sum levied by the government or an agency of the government on goods and services. taxes increases the price of products

Let p = price of a vest

from the question, this equation can be formed :

0.035 x p = $1.4

divide both sides of the equation by 0.035

p = $40
