There is a 5% tax on a bicycle . if the tax is $43 , what was the original price of the bike

Respuesta :

tax is 5% of the original price. So if i multiply by 20 i can easily find the original 100%.

20 x $43 = $860

You can check if by doing 860 x 0.05 = $43
73354
The amt with tax is $43 and the percent of tax is 5%. So make 5% a decimal which is .05. Then subtract. 
AWT(amt. w/ tax)= $43
POT(percent of tax)=5%
DOT(decimal of tax)=.05
43-.05=?
I hope this helpful!
