Step-by-step explanation:

270.25 = 100%

therfore 1% = $2.7025

therfore 15% = $40.5375

Answer 2

Answer:

Cost of TV including tax = $270.25

Sales tax = 15%

Let the cost of TV without sales tax be x. So,

15% of x + x = 270.25

$\frac{15x}{100}$ + x = 270.25

$\frac{15x + 100x}{100}$ = 270.25

$\frac{115x}{100}$ = 270.25

115x = 270.25 × 100

x = 27025/115

x = $235

∴The cost of TV without sales tax is $235.
