Write and solve an equation to find how much the boots cost x before the discount.

I need the equation and the answer....

Answer 1

$9.75

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount _ Binoculars amount

$170_$105=$ 65

therefore before discount boots cost $65

After tax boots cost=15/100 ×$65

15/20× 13

195/20

=$9.75
