if you bought something for $372.60 including an 8% tax, what was the price before the tax?

Answer :

Answer:

  • $345

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price before tax be x, then we have:

  • x + 8% = 372.60
  • x + 0.08x = 372.60
  • 1.08x = 372.60
  • x = 372.60 / 1.08
  • x = 345

The initial price was $345
