Question

A man realizes he lost the detailed receipt from the store and only has the credit card receipt with the after-
tax total. If the after-tax total was $2,096.25, and the tax rate in the area is 7.5%, what was the pre-tax
subtotal?

Answer 1

Answer:

107.5% = 2096.25

1% = 19.5 ( divide both sides by 107.5)

100% = 1950 ( multiply both sides by 100)

pre tax $1950
