molly paid 8% in sales tax on her holophone,a phone that shows the person you're talking to in 3D. if molly paid $416 in sales tax on the phone, what was its pre-tax price?

you do

.08 x /.08 = 416/.08

which is

1 x = 416/.08

which is
5200

i am bad at math

416/.08 then

That sounds like quite a lot, but I suppose a 3D holophone might be very expensive. On the other hand you might have meant she paid $4.16

do i do 0.08 /0.08=x 0.08/416=?

did u go to seeds?

0.08x = 416

Solve for x.

seeds ?

do u go to seeds for homeschool?

so it is $5200?

LOL, no, I went to Exeter then MIT where I graduated in physics in 1959 then got a PhD in engineering in 1968. I however home schooled my niece in math, physics, and chemistry so have some experience with home schooling.
