how do i work out this problem? find the price of the fax machine before tax. price after tax is 464.40. 8% sales tax.
---------------------------------------------------
price before + 0.08(price before) = price after tax
---
1.08(price before) = price after tax
---
1.08 (price before) = 464.40
---
price before = 464.40/1.08 = $430.00
