ALREADY SOLVED JUST NEED SOMEONE TO CHECK MY WORK. FAN AND MEDAL. Kwame purchased a washer for $312.20. The price of the washer included sales tax of 11.5%. Which equation can be used to find the price, p, of the washer before tax? A. 11.5p = 312.20 B. p + 0.115p = 312.20 C. 0.115p = 312.20 D. p + 11.5p = 312.20
