Answer:

$63.9 or rounded up- $64

Explanation:

Step one: first you need to find 10% of 71. To do that you multiply 71 by 0.10. The answer is 7.1

Step two: next you would do 71-7.1 to take off the 10%. you get your answer as $64.

Don't forget to rate and thanks!

Answer:

$63.90

Explanation:

First we want to find 10% of 71, this is 7.1.

Since we want to know the price before the tax was added, we will subtract 7.1 from 71 to get our final answer, $63.9

Have a great day ;)
