Explanation:

Answer 2

the actual sales be $31,132

Explanation:

The computation of the actual sales is as follows:

Let us suppose the actual sales be x

Now the sales tax be 0.06x

Now the total sales would be

x + 0.06x = $33,000

1.06x = $33,000

x = $33,000 ÷ 1.06

= $31,132

hence, the actual sales be $31,132

The same is to be considered by applying the above equation
