Question 27370: I have one more here. I had 11 problems to do and this is the last one I've gone brain dead. Jake paid $100.70 for a color printer. This price included a 6% sales tax. How much did the printer itself cost.
X=price of printer
X(6)= total price of printer
Translate to equation
X+X(.06)=100.70
Is this correct? Thank you
