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

Drag each equation to show if it could be a correct first step to solving the equation
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

3 + 4x = 36----->No

(4.3)+(4 . x)= 36------>Yes

4(3 + x)= 144--------->No

3+ x = 9-------> Yes

12 + x = 36------>No

12 + 4x = 36------->Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

4(3 + x) = 36

A correct first step is to expand the LHS to get:

12 + 4x = 36

Or to divide through by 4 to get:

3 + x = 9

Or just distribute to get:

4 \cdot 3 + 4 \cdot \: x = 36
