Denis said:I see...good luck.
x + 0.08x = 37.80
1st step: x(1 + .08) = 37.80
2nd step: x = 37.80 / 1.08
3rd step: x = 35
Clear nuff?
Could mean that 8% tax was charged on a $35 purchase...
No, if you do that, ALL terms must be divided by .08:einstein said:x + 0.08x = 37.80
(Divide both sides by 0.08)
x + x = 472.5
