I'm having issues with converting the sales tax to a decimal so that I can divide it into the total cost in order to find the price before taxes were applied in the form of a operational formula. Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! X+.075X=677.25
1.075X=677.25
X=677.25/1.075
X=$630.00 COST OF THE STERO BEFORE TAXES.

677.25=677.25
