Question 292674
Michelle was working as a clerk in a clothing store. 
She made a mistake and charged the wrong sales tax. 
She should have charged 5%, but she charged 6%. 
The total amount of money she collected for the day, including sales tax, was $620.10. 
How much money would she have collected if she charged the correct sales tax?
:
Find the amt(A) of the sales without the sale's tax
:
A + .06A = 620.10
1.06A = 620.10
A = {{{620.10/1.06}}}
A = $585
:
Find the total with the correct sales tax
1.05 * 585 = $614.25
