Yannick paid $9.25 as sales tax on the bicycle.
Here, we are given that Yannick bought a bicycle and paid $194.25 for it, including tax.
Let the cost of the bicycle without tax be x
We are given that the rate of sales tax is 5%
Thus, the amount of tax on bicycle will be-
5% of x
= (5/100)*x
= 0.05x
Thus, we can form an equation as follows-
x + 0.05x = 194.25
1.05x = 194.25
x = 194.25/ 1.05
x = 185
Thus, the cost of bicycle without tax is 185
Therefore, the tax paid will be-
0.05x
= 0.05*185
= 9.25
Thus, Yannick paid $9.25 as sales tax on the bicycle.
