Question 951236

let the sticker price of the scooter be {{{x}}}
if Alice paid ${{{1130}}} for a Vespa, and  in the price was included the {{{8.5}}}%( which is {{{8.5/100=0.085}}} of {{{x}}}) sales tax and ${{{45}}} title, then

{{{x+0.085x+45=1130}}} ............solve for {{{x}}}

{{{1.085x=1130-45}}}

{{{1.085x=1085}}}

{{{x=1085/1.085}}}

${{{x=1000}}}


so, the sticker price of the scooter is ${{{1000}}}
