Answer:

$700

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The sales tax in the town where Amanda lives is 5%.

Amanda paid $35  in sales tax on a new stereo.

\%=\dfrac{\text{sales tax}}{\text{total}}\times 100\\\\5\%=\dfrac{35}{x}\times 100\%\\\\x=\dfrac{35\times 100\%}{5\%}\\\\=\$700

So, the price of the stereo is $700. Hence, the correct option is(c).
