MEDAL AND FAN

Maura had a pizza delivered to her home. The total amount she paid was $17.53. Included in the total amount were the menu price of the pizza, 6% sales tax on the price of the pizza, and a $3.75 delivery fee.

Answer 6

Okay let's take this backwards for a moment. Say you buy something at Wal-Mart for $10 (before tax). When you get to the register, you will have to pay tax of 6%. To find your total price, it will be the $10*(100 + 6)% = $10*1.06 = $10.60

Answer 7

okay

Answer 8

Since the delivery charge of the pizza isn't taxed, it's simply added to the subtotal price. So in the example I made up, if you were to say it costs $5 in gas to get home, you'd simply add that to the $10.60 to get $15.60. To solve your problem, we're simply doing this in reverse.

Answer 9

okay...

Answer 10

Did that help any?

Answer 11

I think It's 13 but I'm not sure @janeSTAR

Answer 12

Okay I think its correct .How did I solve it : 17.53 - 3.75 = 13.78 = T
P = T/1.06 = 13
So the cost on the menu, before tax and delivery, is $13

Answer 13

Thank you
