Answer:

We also know that the cost for the tax is 6.93 and we can set up the following proportion rule:

\frac{x}{100} =\frac{6.93}{4.5}

And for this case the value of x represent the cost of the suitcase and solving we got:

x= 100 \frac{6.93}{4.5}= 154

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x the original cost and we also knwo that the tax is 4.5%.

Answer:

$ 154

Step-by-step explanation

Let the value of suitcase=x

x × 4.5% = 6.93 (converted the question into equation)

x × \frac{4.5}{100} = 6.93 (converted the percentage into fraction)

x = 6.93 x \frac{100}{4.5} (took reciprocal of 4.5/100 after moving it to the other side of the equation)

x = \frac{693}{4.5} (multiplied the values)

x = 154 $ (simplified the fraction)
