Answer 2

Answer: $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: Casey buys a bracelet. She pays for the bracelet and pays $0.72 in sales tax. The sales tax rate is 6%, percent. What is the original price of the bracelet, before tax?

Let the original price of the bracelet be denoted as p

Sales tax rate = 6%

Sales tax = $0.72

6% of p = $0.72

6/100 × p = 0.72

0.06 × p = 0.72

0.06p = 0.72

P = 0.72/0.06

P= $12

The original price of the bracelet is $12.
