Question 834019
Let {{{ a }}} = the receipts for the day, not including the tax
{{{ a + .09a = 3759.41 }}}
{{{ 1.09a = 3759.41 }}}
{{{ a = 3759.41/1.09 }}}
{{{ a = 3449 }}}
{{{ 3759.41 - 3449 = 310.41 }}}
The amount of sales tax collected was $310.41
check:
{{{ 310.41 = .09*3449 }}}
{{{ 310.41 = 310.41 }}}
OK
