Madison bought a gift for $17.55. Sales tax of 8% was included in the price she paid.
Yuki888 [10]
The gift with tax is $17.55


8% as a decimal equals 0.08

To find out how much the tax is, you multiply 17.55 by 0.08


(17.55)(0.08)=1.40


Then, you subtract 1.40 from 17.55 to get the price of the gift before the tax was added.

$17.55-$1.40=$16.14
