The cost of the bicycle is $450.
Percentage
A percentage is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the [tex]\rm{\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] of a pizza can be described as 25% of that pizza.
Given to us,
Sales tax = 6%
Tax given on bicycle = $27
Let the price of the bicycle be x. therefore,
6% of x = $27
[tex]\dfrac{6}{100} \times x = 27\\\\x = \dfrac{27\times 100}{6}\\\\x= \dfrac{2700}{6} = 450[/tex]
Hence, the cost of the bicycle is $450.
