Question

Sasha’s father bought a new laptop for her birthday. He paid $2,200 including a 11.2% tax rate. What was the price of the laptop without tax?

Answer 1

Let the price of the laptop be x

Then by the given conditions

x + 11.2% of x = $2200

x + 11.2x/100 = 2200

100x + 11.2x = 220000

111.2x = 220000

x = 220000/111.2

x = $1978.4

Hence, price of laptop without tax is 1978.4
