Question

Mia buys a watch while visiting her cousin in California. The sales tax in California is 10.25%.

Answer 1

Answer:

• $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the watch price be x, then we have:

• 10.25% of x = 41 or
• 0.1025x = 41

Solve for x

• x = 41/0.1025
• x = 400

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution :-

Let the price of watch be w

Now,

$\sf \: 10.25\% \: of \: w = 41$

$\sf \: \dfrac{1025}{100} \: \times w = 41$

$\sf \: w = \dfrac{41 \times 100}{1025}$

$\sf \: w \: = \dfrac{100}{25}$

$\sf \: w = 4$
