Step-by-step explanation:
So when x and y, vary inversely, it means that the product of x and y will remain constant such that:
. This means that the function can be defined as
by dividing both sides by x. In this case x=12, and y=8, this means the constant is equal to 12 * 8 which is 96. So we have the equation:
, which can be defined as 
Multiply the price by (1 + sales tax).
85 x (1+0.07)
85 x 1.07 = 90.95
He will pay $90.95
