What is the number of dollars in the price before tax is added?\" I have tried to solve this by writing out an equation: x+(.07(x))=374.5. I have no idea where to start to solve this equation, or if I'm even going about the problem correctly. How can I find 7% of the original price, add it too the original price, and come out with $374.50? </SPAN>\n" );
