Question 1209250
.
<pre>

"p" is the price of the car before tax.


The 5% tax adds 0.05p to the total cost.


So, the total cost is  p + 0.05p = (1+0.05)p = 1.05p.


To find "p", you should use this equation

    1.05p = 25000,


which gives you the solution for the affordable car price  before the tax

    p = {{{25000/1.05}}} = 23810  dollars.
