Question

Hiroto paid $4.28 in sales tax for the items that he purchased. If the sales tax rate was 6.25 percent, what was the total cost of the items before tax was added?

Answer 1

Answer:

$68.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a chart....

100% divided by 6.25 percent gives us 16 columns

so 16 columns of 6.25 % to equal 100%

second row is 4.28 each

4.28 times 16 = $68.48
