Question 640714

How do i find the purchase price of a product if the sales tax is $76 and the rate is 9.5%? 


Since tax was calculated as $76, and since tax rate = 9.5%, then 9.5% of the purchase price equals $76, OR


{{{.095P = 76}}}, with P being the purchase price of the product


P, or purchase price = {{{76/.095}}}, or ${{{highlight_green(800)}}}
