Total money jack paid = $100.70\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "tax paid = 6% of cost of color printer.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let the cost of printer = $c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so we get the equation...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "total money = cost of printer + tax paid\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "$100.70 = $c + 6% of $c..when % is converted into fraction,,we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100.70 = c + 6/100 * c ,,on dividing 6 by 100 ,,we get\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100.70 = c + 0.06 * c ...now adding (c + 0.06 * c ) give us \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "100.70 = 1.06 c\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or 100.70 / 1.06 = c
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "or c = 95\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore the cost of color printer = $95 \r
