The price of Caleb’s groceries, before tax was $64

Explanation:

Given:

Sales tax paid by caleb = $1.60

The sales tax rate = 2.5%.  

To Find:

The price of Caleb’s groceries, before tax=?

Solution:

Let the  caleb's grocery price before tax be X

Then,

$X\times2.5\%=1.60$

$X\times\frac{2.5}{100}=1.60$

$X\times2.5=1.60\times100$

$X\times2.5=160$

$X=\frac[160}{2.5}$

x=64
