Question

A price plus 6% tax is equal to $4.24. Find the original price.

Answer 1

Okay so, you can only ever have 100% of something. So what you want to do to find the price BEFORE they added the 6%, is do 1 (for 100%) \[1-.06=.94\]

Answer 2

now, you are going to take \[4.24*0.94\]

Answer 3

You end up with $3.9856, which you then have to round.
