Answer:
$32.60
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember to find the percentage of something, times the number by the percentage, which is two decimals to the left. So 15% would be 0.15.
The total is unknown so replace it with a variable, such as x
.15(x)=4.89
Isolate x by dividing both sides by 0.15
x=32.6
