Have you tried?

OpenStudy (helpmeplease14):

Yes but I got the wrong answer

OpenStudy (osanseviero):

What have you done? :)

OpenStudy (helpmeplease14):

OpenStudy (osanseviero):

So you know that 31.8 is the 106%. You need to find 100% so you can correct the value.

OpenStudy (osanseviero):

Ok, the problem tells you that you paid 31.80 (including a 6% tax). That means that you had to pay X money and you added a 6%

OpenStudy (helpmeplease14):

Yeah

OpenStudy (osanseviero):

So what was the pay without taxes?

OpenStudy (helpmeplease14):

2.50

OpenStudy (osanseviero):

I meant this: 31.8 is the 106%, what is the 100% ?

OpenStudy (osanseviero):

You will get a value. You need to substract 1.5 from that value (because that is the correction). Then find the 106% of the new value :)
