Answer:
The purchase price is $180
The total price is: $189
Step-by-step explanation:
Sales tax rate = 5\%
Sales tax on bike = $9
We need to find the purchase price.
Let purchase price = x
We know that Sales tax = 5% of x
and Total price = Purchase Price + Sales tax
So, we can write:
Sales tax = 5% of x
Putting values and finding x

So, the value of x i.e Purchase price = $180
The purchase price is $180
Now finding the total price of bicycle
Total price = Purchase Price + Sales tax
Total price = 180 + 9
Total price = $189
So, The total price is: $189
