Answer:

Final price = 1.06x

Step-by-step explanation:

If a city has a 6% general sales tax, then the total cost of any purchase will be the original price of an item plus 6%, as follows:

Final price = (x + 0.06x) = 1.06x

Therefore, the total cost of any purchase is 1.06 where 'x' represents the price of the items without taxes.

$p(m+qx)=rx+n\\\\\implies pm+pqx = rx+n\\\\\implies pqx-rx = n-pm\\\\\implies x(pq -r) = n-pm\\\\\implies x = \dfrac{n-pm}{pq-r}$

If 75% of x is 150, what is the value of x?

vagabundo [1.1K]

I'm not sure if this is correct but you would put it into an equation while you solve for X. so 0.75x=150 or equivalently would be like (3/4)x=150 Then after that you would divide both sides by 0.75 or 3/4
