Question

How do I find the original price of an item from the tax rate and tax price?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{\ 11 500}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$1437.50 = 12.5 % of price

$\text{Price} = \text{100 \%} \times \dfrac{\text{\ 1437.50}}{\text{12.5 \%}} = \text \ 11 500}$

The price of the motorcycle before tax was $\boxed{\textbf{\ 11 500}}$
