Alexis bought a cd player. She does not remember the price, but she does know that 6% sales tax came to $4.80. What was the price of the cd player?

Fish Gatorade x 56 = 84

9+10 = 21
(67)8x + 84x
0.56
Fish drowning

what does this mean

0.06x = 4.8

x = 4.8 / 0.06

x = 80

To solve this problem, we need to determine the original price of the CD player before the sales tax was added. Here's how you can calculate it:

Step 1: Convert the sales tax percentage to decimal form
Sales tax percentage is given as 6%. To convert it to decimal form, divide it by 100: 6% ÷ 100 = 0.06 (tax rate in decimal form).

Step 2: Calculate the original price without tax
Let's assume the original price of the CD player is 'P'. To find the original price without tax, we'll subtract the tax from the total price.
Tax amount = Tax rate × Original price (0.06P)
Total price = Original price + Tax amount (P + 0.06P)
Total price = 1.06P (original price with tax)

Step 3: Determine the original price of the CD player
We are given that the sales tax came to $4.80, which means Tax amount = $4.80
Using the equation from Step 2:
Tax amount = 0.06P = $4.80

To find the original price, divide both sides of the equation by 0.06:
0.06P/0.06 = $4.80/0.06
P = $80

So the original price of the CD player was $80.
