Answer 1

$0.68

Explanation:

Ok so if $0.72 is the price of the original + 6% tax that means it should be that this means:

$0.72= 1.06 or 106% of original price

0.72 / 1.06 = 0.679...

round that up

this makes the tax $0.04

this means the net amount is $0.68

Answer 2

To find your answer you could type in the cost and multiply it by the tax rate, so $0.72 X $0.06(The tax rate )= $0.0432

You then subtract 0.0432 from 0.72 and get 0.6768

rounded it would be $0.68

Hope this is right..
