Answer:

D. $1,136.79

Step-by-step explanation:

In this example, we want to learn what the original price of the computer would be if the price is $1,205, and this includes a 6% sales tax. This means that this price is 106% of the original price (100% is the price, while 6% is the tax). Therefore:

1205 * 1.06 = 1136.79
