New price=$18550 Tax= 6% Price before tax was added = x (Let the original price be x). Tax=6% of x=6/100*x=3x/50 Therefore, Original price(x)+Tax(3x/50)=New price($18550) x+3x/50=18550 LCM:50 50x/50x+3x/50=18550 53x/50=18550 53x=18550*50 53x=927500 x=927500/53 Therefore, x=17500 The original price is $17500. Hope it helps. Thank me if helpful.
