Answer:
The shortage of money...
Or maybe they have been failing for a long time
The gift with tax is $17.55
8% as a decimal equals 0.08
To find out how much the tax is, you multiply 17.55 by 0.08
(17.55)(0.08)=1.40
Then, you subtract 1.40 from 17.55 to get the price of the gift before the tax was added.
$17.55-$1.40=$16.14
