Answer:

$198

Explanation:

To find how much the tax was, we multiply 10% by 220. We do this in decimal form, so we write it as 0.1*220. 0.1*220 is 22. Although, we don't stop there. Now that we know how much tax is, we must subtract the tax from the price with tax to find the OG price. 220-22 is 198. That means our answer is $198. Hope this helps!
