Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "100% - 7.5% = 92.5%
\n" ); document.write( "92.5% = $96.74
\n" ); document.write( "1% = $96.74/92.5
\n" ); document.write( "100% = $96.74/92.5 x 100
\n" ); document.write( "!00% = $104.58.
\n" ); document.write( "This is the pretax price.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
