Question

H.E.L.P

Answer 1

I have been staring at this problem for days.. /.\ i cant solve it

Answer 2

To solve this, you need to set up an equation
x = cost before tax
x(0.06) = cost of tax
7.95 = the total cost of the item

x + x(0.06) = 7.95

Solve for x

Answer 3

x + x(0.06) = 7.95

multiply x into the parenthesis

x +0.06x = 7.95

add the x's together (x = 1 x)

1.06x = 7.95

divide both sides by 1.06

x = $7.50

I see. Guess it meant by the "? % of cost ($7.95). I still find that question misleading. Hope you got credit (つω⊂* )
