Answer:

22%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of tax can be found by calculating the percent change.

new - old / old

6084 - 7800 / 7800

= -0.22 or -22%

This means the price decreased by 22%, meaning you paid 22% in taxes.

$x^2+36=12x\\\\x^2-12x+36=0\\\\x^2-6x-6x+36=0\\\\x(x-6)-6(x-6)=0\\\\(x-6)(x-6)=0\\\\(x-6)^2=0\iff x-6=0\Rightarrow\boxed{x=6}$
