Question 774964
Let the value of the newly purchased car be $'x'.
So the state tax is $(8.9/100)x
But the tax is $1100.
Therefore (8.9/100)x = 1100
or                 x = 1100 * (100/8.9)
or                 x = 12359.55(approx.)
Therefore the price of the new car is $12359.55

check: (8.9/100)12359.55 = 1099.99995 = 1100(approx.)
