Your in college figure it out.........
1700, just use the inverse operation. The problem would look like this ( not inverse operation ) x ÷ 33 1/3 = 51
All you have to do is multiply the two numbers.
51 x 33 1/3 = 1700
Now plug it back in and check
1700 ÷ 33 1/3 does indeed equal 51.
Given:
The formula for total cost is

where, p is the price of item and s is the sales tax rate (as a percent).
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14.
To find:
The the tax rate.
Solution:
You pay $14.77 for an item priced at $14. So,
Total cost (T) = $14.77
Price of item (p) = $14
Putting T=14.77 and p=14 in given formula, we get



Multiply both sides by 100.

Divide both sides by 14.


Therefore, the tax rate is 5.5%.
