.84375+11.25=12.09375 Answer by kingme18(98) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Sales tax is found by taking the item price * tax rate = sales tax
So here, purchase price * .075 = 11.25
To solve for the purchase price, divide both sides by .075
11.25/.075=150
The item price before tax is $150.
