Let x =  price of the bike before a sales tax.

The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars

Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50

Answer: 158.50

(3m±4/5n)2<br>solve this question<br>​
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

(3m-4/5)2  

Final result :

 (15m - 4)2

 ——————————

     52    

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

           4

Simplify   —

           5

Equation at the end of step  1  :

        4

 (3m -  —)2

        5

Step  2  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

2.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

          3m     3m • 5

    3m =  ——  =  ——————

          1        5    

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

2.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

3m • 5 - (4)     15m - 4

————————————  =  ———————

     5              5    

Equation at the end of step  2  :

 (15m - 4)

(—————————)2

     5    

Step  3  :

Final result :

 (15m - 4)2

 ———

     52
