Question 250044: If you paid $44 (including tax) for an item where the tax rate is 20%, how much was the price before tax? Show an equation and solve. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Cost+Tax=44
Tax=20/100*Cost
Cost+(20/100)Cost=44
Cost+0.2Cost=44
1.2Cost=44
Cost=44/1.2=$36.67
