\n" ); document.write( "Let x = tax rate
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "3(34) + 3(34)x = 107.10
\n" ); document.write( "3(34)(1 + x) = 107.10
\n" ); document.write( "102(1+x) = 107.10
\n" ); document.write( "(1+x) = 107.10/102
\n" ); document.write( "(1+x) = 1.05
\n" ); document.write( "x = .05 (sales tax rate)
\n" ); document.write( "Or, in terms of percent
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5%\r
