Question

If the after tax total was $214.00 and the tax rate in the area is 7% what was the pre tax subtotal?

Answer 1

The pre-tax subtotal was $200

X (the unknown subtotal) * 1.07 (7% tax addition) = $214 (after-tax total)

To isolate x, you would divide $214 by 1.07, which equals $200.

To check $200 * 1.07 = $214.
