Question

3.) You are charged $14.95 total for a meal, assume the 7% sales tax, how much was the menu
price of this item?

And how did you find that answer

Answer 1

The price of item was 13.97 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the price of the item on meal

Then 0.07x will be the sales tax on the item of menu

The total price paid for the meal including sales tax = $14.95

So,

$x+0.07x = 14.95\\1.07x = 14.95$

Dividing both sides by 1.07

$\frac{1.07x}{1.07} = \frac{14.95}{1.07}\\x = 13.97$

The price of item was 13.97 dollars
