the answer u mean

Answer 16

I'm not wrong. I did it correctly.

Answer 17

see let the price be x, tax is 6% so 1.06x = 13.25 hence x = 13.25/1.06

Answer 18

13.25 x 0.06 = 0.795

13.25 - 0.795 = 12.455 which rounds to 12.50

Answer 19

There are multiple ways how to do it.

Answer 20

you check you told 13.25*(1-.06) = 12.455
