Let x = price of the bike before a sales tax.
The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars
Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50
Answer: 158.50

Answer:
Please, where are the values ?
Find percent increase by subtracting the amounts and dividing it by the old amount, then multiply the result by 100 to make it a percent.
Increase= (277-210)/210
67/210
Then it ends up as 0.319047619...
Multiply that by 100 to make it a percent, which is..
31.9047619..
Round it off, and you get..
32%!
