Lisa's store collects 5% sales tax on every item sold if she collected $22.00 in sales tax what was the cost of the items in her store sold
To find the cost of the items in Lisa's store sold, we need to divide the amount of sales tax collected by the sales tax rate.
Sales tax rate = 5% = 0.05
Sales tax collected = $22.00
Let x be the cost of the items in Lisa's store sold.
0.05x = $22.00
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 0.05:
x = $22.00 / 0.05 = $440.00
The cost of the items in Lisa's store sold is $440.00.
