Write an expression for the sales tax on a car.
Tax rate is r, price is 12000 dollars.
------------------------------
If 12000 is the price before the tax,
Total price = (1+r)12000
---------------------------------
If 12000 is the price including tax.
Price before tax is applied is (1-r)12000
==============================================
