Question

The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 7%. Amanda paid $35 in sales taxes on a new stereo. What was the price of the stereo?

Answer 1

Answer:

$500

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage of Sales Tax = 7%

Sales Tax paid by Amanda for the Stereo = $35

So, 7% = $35

      1% = 35/7

      1% = 5

The total cost of the stereo = 100(%)*5($)

                                              = $500
