Question 1209250
<font color=black size=3>
p = price before tax
0.05p = tax
p+0.05p = 1.05p = price after tax


This final dollar amount can be $25,000 or less
It leads to the inequality {{{1.05p <= 250000}}}


Divide both sides by 1.05 to arrive at the approximation {{{p <= 23809.52380952}}} which rounds to {{{p<=23809.52}}}


The price before taxes cannot exceed $23,809.52
