tax on an item is $60,tax rate of 85%, what price of item to nearest dollor,before taxes.
options ..706 650 510 408..
thanks in advance.

Answer 1

First problem.

16 can't be right.

x + 3x = 48

4x = 48

x = 12

Check it out.

12 red + 36 white = 48

Your second problem doesn't make sense to me. Tax rates are not 85%

Answer 2

Thanks ,

what if, in the last question tax rate is only 8 % ..

Answer 3

You're welcome.

8% makes sense.

0.08x = 60

x = 60 / 0.08

x = 750

If the tax rate is 8.5%, $706 is close.

Answer 4

thank you so much , you are right it is 8.5 %.

Answer 5

Miss Sue , I was just woundering, question say nearest hundered before tax. Do i minus the tax amount from the 706.is this a trick or 706 is perfect answer.

Answer 6

$700 is the nearest hundred.
