Answer:

The original price of the school supplies was $19

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

If the original price of the school supplies is x, and being the tax rate of 6%, then the after-tax price is x+6/100x=1.06x.

We know that final price, thus:

1.06x=20.14

x=20.14/1.06=19

The original price of the school supplies was $19
